Sparx Maths - Impact

Our system

High-quality content to ensure all students, no matter their background, can thrive.

Our vast content library covers a wide range of curricula with video support for all questions.

We use over 200 million data points to personalise every homework for every student.

This ensures students always receive homework that is both achievable and challenging. This means they experience success as well as being stretched by harder questions.

Bookwork

To promote high-quality written work, Sparx maths delivers bookwork checks to 100% of students as they complete their homework.

Clarity of student expectations

Students have a clear unambiguous target to answer 100% of their homework correctly each week.

Our difference

We save teachers up to 5 hours per week with 9 in 10 teachers saying that using Sparx has reduced their workload.

For 95% of students, a parent/carer has engaged with our weekly supporting emails which provide updates on how their child is doing.

We believe that teachers know their students best, so we give them the option to override our personalisation if they prefer. However, teachers have only overridden our personalisation choices in less than 1% of homeworks generated.

Students actually use our products the way they were designed. 92% of students in our partner schools complete 30 minutes or more of intelligent practice homework. 88% of students complete 60 minutes or more.
