BANES Pupils Celebrate Success in UK-Wide Learning Challenge

Pupils from a BANES primary school are celebrating their success in a nationwide digital learning challenge.

45 children from High Littleton C of E Primary School received awards after taking part in Discovery Education’s DoodleLearning Spring Challenge. More than 23,000 children across the UK took part during the Easter school holidays, making 2026 the Challenge’s most successful year to date.

The DoodleLearning Spring Challenge is designed to keep children learning during the school holidays, by encouraging them to spend just a few minutes each day practising maths and English using Doodle’s innovative learning programmes. Part of the Discovery Education family of services, the DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish apps are designed to be used little and often, both at home and in the classroom – making them ideal for school holiday learning.

Children who completed this year’s DoodleLearning Spring Challenge were rewarded with special certificates and badges, presented by their teachers in school.

Mr Gunning, Deputy Headteacher at the school said,

“We were delighted with the number of children who engaged with the Spring Challenge this year! Using Doodle Maths allows the children to consolidate their learning as well as learn new content at their own pace.”

Charity Lisko, Discovery Education’s Vice President for International Product, Curriculum and Content said:

“Congratulations to all pupils from High Littleton C of E Primary School who took part in this year’s DoodleLearning Spring Challenge. It’s fantastic to see your commitment to learning beyond the school day and we hope you’ll continue to build on your success by joining us in our Summer Challenge!”

Designed to be used for just 10 minutes a day, Discovery Education’s DoodleMaths and Doodle English programmes use the latest advances in learning and motivational psychology to raise attainment and boost confidence. Giving children a personalised learning programme, the apps are proven to improve confidence and ability. Filled with thousands of interactive exercises, they explore numeracy and literacy in a fun, approachable way, giving children core skills they can use in the classroom and beyond.

Discovery Education’s DoodleLearning programmes have been shown to significantly enhance academic progression and have been used by more than one million children in the U.K. and around the world.
