Trivela Learning

Skills every child needs
for life

We want to help every child gain critical skills they need for life. We have started with numeracy and developed Trivela FC to help teachers engage and support children in maths.

The problem

Early maths failure becomes a lifelong sentence

On average a primary teacher has to teach a class of 30 children, all at different levels; it can be an impossible task. Once a child falls behind on number facts, they can't follow the lesson, stop taking part, and the gap widens, term after term, year after year.

Adults in England struggle with basic numeracy

Research shows maths anxiety can take hold as young as six or seven. By that age, many children have already absorbed the idea that you either "have a maths brain" or you don't. Steve Chinn, a leading researcher on dyscalculia, found that "many children are giving up on maths around the age of 7 years old."

The result is hard-wired by sixteen. In 2026, 29% of 16-year-olds in England, roughly 176,000 young people, failed to achieve a pass in GCSE maths. And the cost lasts a lifetime.

Good numeracy is the best protection against unemployment, low wages and poor health.

Trivela FC

A game world built around football and rewards, where every answer trains a player's career. Children practise at their level, teachers see exactly where support is needed, and nobody sits through a test they aren't ready for.

Launched in 2025 with a group of schools, Trivela FC has been built alongside children and teachers — so it works in real classrooms from day one.

How it works

What teachers actually say

Every review on Trustpilot is 5 stars. These are genuine comments from teachers using Trivela FC in school.

As a headteacher, I am always looking for resources that have a genuine impact on pupils' learning while fostering enthusiasm for education. Trivela FC is one of those rare platforms that successfully combines both. Catering for learners from infants through to GCSE-level secondary pupils, it provides personalised maths challenges that ensure every child is working at an appropriate level. I would wholeheartedly recommend Trivela FC to any primary school.

As a Deputy Head with a keen interest in maths and an obsession with football, when I heard about Trivela FC, I knew instantly that this was going to be a big hit in school. We trialled it first with Y6 and it took off instantly! The journey through the maths is brilliant and it really is helping them with their arithmetic skills. Highly recommended!

Such a great way to get kids into maths. I had my class badgering me constantly, 'When can we next play Trivela?' Dynamic ways to test different maths skills and engages children in ways that similar apps/games just don't. Highly recommended.

I'm a Year 6 teacher working in East Sussex. Engagement has been a challenge for my cohort but with the introduction of Trivela the pupils have been super keen to excel in maths. Without realising it, their desire has manifested in some genuinely brilliant SATs results. The analytics have been used in pupil progress meetings and informed me as a teacher of next steps for every pupil. It's genuinely game changing!
Year 6 Teacher, East SussexTrustpilot 5★ review
As an assistant head of a primary, I am always looking for ways to engage pupils with maths, especially those who are more reluctant. Trivela has been a fantastic platform that our pupils love. We have seen fantastic progress in our Y4 MTC and KS2 SATs outcomes and Trivela has helped support this. Cannot recommend it enough!
