Tonbridge Pupils Celebrate Success in Summer Learning Challenge

Pupils from a Tonbridge school have been celebrating their success after taking part in a nationwide Maths and English Challenge.

Children at Hilden Oaks Prep School, Tonbridge were presented with a total of 57 awards following their participation in the Annual DoodleLearning Summer Challenge – a popular initiative designed to motivate pupils during the school holidays and prevent summer learning loss.

More than 18,000 children took part in the challenge, including pupils from 647 participating schools, by practising maths and English for just a few minutes each day, using DoodleLearning’s award-winning apps. Part of the Discovery Education family of solutions, the DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish apps use the latest edtech advances to reward learning and boost children’s confidence.

The pupils from Hilden Oaks Prep School were rewarded with special certificates and badges that were presented by their teachers in school this week.

Suzi Fisher, Year 6 teacher and Head of Maths at the school said:

“ Pupils at Hilden Oaks Preparatory School, Tonbridge, were thrilled to receive their DoodleMaths and DoodleEnglish Summer Challenge certificates and badges.  As a Values-Based Education School, we were proud of how our pupils demonstrated their values of perseverance and excellence to keep up their ‘Doodle Streaks’, whilst also preventing summer-learning loss, throughout their holiday.”

Howard Lewis, Discovery Education’s UK and International Managing Director said:
