Developed by a team of educators, academics, and game developers, Emile provides game-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.
A Knowledge Transfer Partnership, partially funded by Innovate UK, facilitated Emile's development in collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University's Faculty of Education. This award-winning resource significantly improves student learning outcomes across Key Stages 1 and 2, while simultaneously reducing teacher workload, particularly when used with Emile's integrated lesson plans.
Teacher feedback has been crucial to Emile's design, resulting in key features:
- A Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) emulator with customizable time limits, question selection, and pacing adjustments 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 extensively in schools and multi-academy trusts nationwide, Emile is ideal for homework, classroom activities, formative and summative assessments, and targeted intervention.
