Autumn Competition FAQs

How do pupils register for the competition?

There’s no need to register to take part – all stars earned in DoodleMaths between the 19th of October and 20th of November 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 our prize draw entry form before midnight on the 20th of November.

Those with international school subscriptions are unfortunately unable to enter the prize draw, but they will receive an exclusive in-app badge if they earn 250 stars.

How do pupils take part in the competition?

It’s easy for pupils to join the fun!

  1. Use DoodleMaths ‘little and often’

    Between the 19th of October and the 20th of November, encourage your pupils to earn 250 stars in DoodleMaths.

    Please note: stars earned before the 19th of October and/or after the 20th of November , 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 enter our prize draw.* Their child will then have 10 chances to WIN a Doodle goodie pack!

    The winners will be randomly selected and emailed after the 20th of November 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 exclusive 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 the 19th of October and 20th of November 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 our prize draw entry form before midnight on the 20th of November.

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.*

Please note: parents must be opted in to ‘work programme updates’ to receive this email. 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 the 20th of November.

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)

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 when they reach their star target.

Please note: the Autumn Competition runs in addition to our popular Spring and Summer Challenges, seasonal events where kids can earn pin badges by Doodling ‘little and often’.

How do pupils receive their certificate?

The certificate will be emailed to parents as soon as their child earns 250 stars. They must opt 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!

*Those with international school subscriptions are unfortunately unable to enter the prize draw, but they’ll still receive an exclusive in-app badge if they earn 250 stars.
