Freckle

Freckle is a new online learning platform that allows our boys to practise Maths at their own level. At the start of each term, the boys take a Star Maths test which then informs Freckle of their score and level. Freckle then continuously adapts to each boy’s individual skills while ensuring they are getting the appropriate challenge.

Each week, the boys who have been most accurate in their Freckle work are celebrated and are given the opportunity to try and guess the code of our Treasure Safe.
