Autumn Competition FAQs

How do pupils register for the competition?

There’s no need for pupils to register to join the competition – all stars earned in DoodleMaths between October 20th and November 24th will automatically count towards the star target!

Please note: students won’t be automatically entered into the prize draw. To do this, parents must complete the prize draw entry form before midnight on November 24th.

How do pupils take part in the competition?

It’s easy for pupils to join the fun!

  1. Use DoodleMaths ‘little and often’

Between October 20th – November 24th, encourage your pupils to earn 250 stars in DoodleMaths.*

*Stars earned before October 20th and/or after November 24th, and/or stars earned in DoodleTables, DoodleEnglish and/or DoodleSpell, won’t be counted.

2. Enter the prize draw

Once they've earned 250 stars, parents will receive an email encouraging them to complete our prize draw entry form.

Their child will then have 10 chances to WIN a Doodle goodie pack!

These winners will be selected at random and emailed after November 25th to let them know the exciting news.

3. Receive FREE rewards

Everyone who reaches the star target will receive two guaranteed prizes: a printable certificate AND an in-app badge!

These will be shared in the same email as the prize draw entry form.

What are the competition prizes?

All pupils who earn 250 stars in DoodleMaths between October 20th and November 24th will receive an exclusive printable certificate and in-app badge!

  • The certificate will be emailed to parents as soon as their child earns 250 stars. They must be opted in to ‘work programme updates’ to receive this email.

  • Children can view their in app-badge by logging in to DoodleMaths, hovering over Menu in the left-hand corner of the screen and selecting Badges.

In addition to these guaranteed prizes, they'll also be eligible to enter our prize draw to WIN 1 of 10 Doodle goodie packs! To enter their child into the draw, parents must complete the prize draw entry form before midnight on November 24th.

Each goodie pack will include:

  • A Top Doodler trophy

  • A personalised certificate from our team to your child

  • A notebook

  • A big bundle of stationery, including pencils, a ruler and stickers

  • Plus even more rewards, including sets of stickers, certificates and a Top Doodler wristband!

*Please note: the contents of each pack may vary and may or may not include all of the items listed above

How do pupils enter the prize draw?

Once a child has earned 250 stars in DoodleMaths, their parent will receive an email prompting them to complete our prize draw entry form. You can also share this form with parents if they haven’t received an email from us.

Parents must complete the form before midnight on November 24th.

How are the prize draw winners chosen?

The 10 competition winners will be randomly selected from those that are entered into the prize draw entry form and meet the criteria below:

  • Parents must accept the competition T&Cs (found at the bottom of this page)

  • Parents must enter the email address that’s associated with their Doodle account. We must also be able to contact you via this email address in the event your child wins a Doodle goodie pack.

  • Parents must be a UK resident

  • A child must have earned 250 stars in DoodleMaths between October 20th and November 24th 2025

If a child doesn't meet the above requirements, their entry won't be counted. Full terms and conditions can be found on our website.

Are there physical badges for the competition?

There are no physical badges for the Autumn Competition. Instead, pupils will automatically receive an exclusive in-app badge as soon as they reach their star target.

How do pupils receive their certificate?

The certificate will be emailed to parents as soon as their child earns 250 stars. They must be opted in to ‘work programme updates’ to receive this email.

If you’d like a copy of the certificate to share directly with your pupils, please get in touch with your SSA.

My school doesn’t have a DoodleMaths subscription, can we join the competition?

Absolutely! Please book a chat with your SSA to discuss setting up a DoodleMaths trial for your school. Your pupils will then be able to join the competition!
