KS1 & KS2 spelling, maths and reading practice — children earn real pocket money for every correct answer. Available to every family in Derbyshire, on any device, with no download required.
Derbyshire spans the Peak District, former mining communities and the Derby conurbation, creating a primary education landscape of significant diversity in both resources and attainment.
Derbyshire's reading attainment is broadly at national average, with Derby city schools performing below and rural Peak District schools performing above. The county has a strong tradition of school-to-school support through its Teaching School Hubs.
KS2 maths in Derbyshire reflects the county's economic variation. Former mining communities in the north and east of the county have historically lower attainment; the more prosperous south Derbyshire areas perform closer to national average.
Derbyshire's diverse communities — from the outdoor-loving families of the Peak District to the post-industrial communities of Chesterfield and Bolsover — share a pragmatic, no-nonsense approach to education. Tools that demonstrably work, are affordable, and require minimal setup are well-received.
The Pocket Money Game works entirely within the KS1 and KS2 National Curriculum for England, covering the statutory spelling word lists, curriculum-aligned maths across all six primary year groups, and comprehension stories matched to each reading level. Children earn configurable amounts of real pocket money for every correct answer — parents set the rate, track progress, and pay out whenever they choose.
Every family in Derbyshire can try the game completely free for seven days, with no credit card required. The full game — spelling, maths and reading across all six levels — is available from the first day of the trial.
Join families across Derbyshire and across the UK. Your child can start earning pocket money today.
