Working with MATs
At Sumdog, we work with a number of multi-academy trusts to help academies boost maths fluency and raise maths attainment for each and every pupil.
Sumdog's Impact
More than double the number of pupils with SEN working at or above the expected standard
Pupils with SEN (Special Educational Needs), lower-attaining pupils and those with lower self-esteem saw increased benefits from using Sumdog.
7.4 % increase in pupils working above the expected standard after using Sumdog

6% increase in pupils working at or above the expected standard after using Sumdog
The number of pupils working below the expected standard dropped from 38.9% to 32.9%.
Building maths fluency
Sumdog provides a trust-wide platform for building number fluency in a consistent, sustainable way. With the same adaptive practice and question progression available across all academies, you can agree shared expectations for fluency, while still meeting the needs of each individual class. Questions automatically adjust to each pupil’s level, ensuring those who need consolidation get secure with core facts, while higher-attaining pupils are appropriately stretched.
Sumdog’s fluency reports give maths and trust leads a clear view of progress across schools, year groups, and priority cohorts, making it easier to monitor impact, spot gaps early, and target support where it’s needed most.
“We know short bursts of just 10-15 minutes on Sumdog each day can have a big impact.”
