We know that success isn’t always about topping the leaderboards. Sometimes it’s found in the quieter moments; showing resilience when faced with a tricky concept, offering encouragement to a classmate, stepping up as a role model, or maintaining a consistently positive attitude. These achievements deserve just as much celebration, so here are some ways you can reward the students who go above and beyond in NumBots:

1. Pro Badges

The beauty of these badges is that a) they look really cool and b) you choose what you award them for. The Pro badges are available to purchase from our Merch Shop.👇

These badges can be awarded alongside our mini Pro certificates – available for free in the downloads section!

Where to find Mini Certificates: Downloads > Certificates

2. Generic Certificates

Our versatile generic certificates can be customised to any achievement, making them a great addition to your toolkit for motivation and celebration. We’ve purposefully left the boxes blank so you can decide why and how you award them.

As you may have already seen on our website, we are proud holders of The Queen’s Award for Enterprise Innovation 2020. Announced on the Queen’s Birthday last year, Tuesday 21st April 2020, we were recognised for our excellence in innovation through the development of our immersive maths learning platforms – Times Tables Rock Stars and NumBots.

Approaching its 55th year, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards emblem for the next five years. The awards were first established in 1965 and since then over 7000 companies have achieved a Queen’s Award.

The awards celebrate the success of exciting and innovative businesses which are leading the way with pioneering products or services, delivering impressive social mobility programmes or showing their commitment to excellent sustainable development practices.

For both NumBots and Times Table Rock Stars, we have used our expertise in maths mastery and innovation, combined with sound pedagogy and memory-building routines to produce a programme that strengthens children’s adding and subtracting ability. Overall providing children with a strong mathematical foundation which they can develop as they progress through education.

CEO Bruno Reddy says:

“We’re extremely proud and honoured to win The Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation 2020 and be recognised alongside the very best in British business. It is wonderful recognition of the impact that both Times Tables Rock Stars and NumBots are having on children’s maths learning worldwide. We are very grateful to our incredible team, our suppliers and to all our amazing school and family subscribers for the support that you give us, enabling us to continue with our mission; to give every child the opportunity to leave school saying they were good at maths.”
