IDL for Primary Schools

IDL is used in thousands of primary schools across the UK. Our software was designed to help pupils improve their reading, spelling and mathematical skills as well as their wellbeing.

Many of our schools use IDL with their SEN learners or those who are falling behind. We’ve also seen lots of success in schools that use IDL as a whole-school solution to improve skills in these core areas that are vital to the development of young people.
