The Mathematics Department has been using Mathletics since December to set home learning tasks and also promote independent learning. So far, results look positive with increasing usage, engagement and improvement.

All parents/carers can create a parent account which they can use to monitor their child's progress. You can create this account using the steps found in this parent letter. ​You will need your child's  login details to create the account.
