For Headteachers

Your maths data shows a long tail. Here is a tool that can help shorten it.

Animal Bonds gives senior leaders per-pupil fluency data that workbook marking and end-of-term tests cannot surface, without adding to your compliance burden.

The problem you are already seeing

Every primary school has the same shape on its maths attainment data: a cluster of children who are doing fine, and a tail of children whose recall is not fluent enough to keep up.

The pattern starts in Key Stage 1 and gets harder to fix every year. A Year 2 child who has not internalised bonds to 20 is the Year 4 child still finger-counting through column addition, and the Year 6 child losing reasoning marks because the arithmetic is slow.

Most maths tools tell you how a child scored overall. They do not tell you which specific facts each child is missing. That is the level of detail teachers need to plan targeted support.

Every new tool also adds compliance work: another GDPR review, another DPA to sign, another sub-processor to document.

How Animal Bonds helps

Per-pupil mastery data at fact level.

Not just "Sam scored 8/10" but which specific bonds Sam is fluent on and which are still slow. That is the detail that supports meaningful intervention planning.

Compliance documentation ready before your pilot starts.

GDPR statement, ICO Children's Code adherence, Safeguarding Statement, DPA template: all on the website, ready for your DPO to review.

A pilot with no financial commitment.

We are currently accepting schools into a free pilot programme. There is no payment, no fixed trial length and no obligation to continue.

No app store. Works on every device you already own.

Animal Bonds is a Progressive Web App. It runs in any modern browser on any device (iPads, Chromebooks, desktop PCs) with no IT department involvement, no app store accounts, and no version update cycle to manage. It also works offline once opened.
