Developed by educators, academics, and game developers, Emile provides games-based learning resources to over 15% of primary schools in the UK and Ireland. Rigorous classroom testing and strong pedagogical research underpin all Emile resources.
Funded in part by Innovate UK and developed through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University's Faculty of Education, Emile uses robust pedagogy. This award-winning resource significantly improves student learning outcomes across Key Stages 1 and 2 while reducing teacher workload, particularly when used with Emile's integrated lesson plans.
Teacher feedback is central to Emile's design. Key features include:
- A Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) emulator with customizable time limits, question types, and pacing options for struggling learners.
- A comprehensive spelling program aligned with statutory spelling words.
- End-of-unit and end-of-block assessments compatible with the White Rose Maths scheme of work.
- Tools to support intervention groups, including automated knowledge gap analysis.
Used in thousands of schools and multi-academy trusts, Emile is ideal for homework, classroom activities, formative and summative assessments, and targeted interventions.
