๐Ÿ’ฐ The Pocket Money Game for Nottingham Families

Nottingham's large student population and growing creative and tech sectors mean the city has a young, engaged parent community receptive to educational technology. The city's significant Pakistani and Caribbean communities have strong traditions of valuing education and supplementary learning at home.

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 โ€” parents set the rate, track progress, and pay out whenever they choose.

Every family in Nottingham can try the game completely free for seven days, with no credit card required. The full game โ€” spelling, maths and reading across all six levels โ€” is available from the first day of the trial.
