Ready to get your school started with Dr Frost Maths? This guide walks you through creating your teacher account and beginning your 60-day free trial with full access to all features, or you can choose to subscribe straight away if you'd prefer!
The registration process takes just a few minutes and will set up both your teacher account and your school's trial or subscription.
Step 1: Sign up
Visit the Dr Frost Maths homepage and click the Sign up button or follow this link to the registration page.
You'll see three signup choices. Choose "I'm a Teacher setting up my school" to start your school's trial.
Step 2: Enter your email address
You'll be asked to enter your email address to begin the registration process.
Important: Use your school email address rather than a personal email, as personal emails won't be accepted.
Step 3: Verify your email address
Dr Frost will immediately send a verification email to the address you provided. You'll see onscreen instructions to:
Check your inbox for an email from Dr Frost Maths with the subject "Verify your email address."
Click the verification link in the email to confirm your address and continue with registration.

Step 4: Search for your school
Start typing your school name in the search box. Dr Frost will show matching schools as you type.
Look carefully for your school in the results. Schools might appear with slight variations in name or formatting.
Try different search terms if you don't see your school immediately:
- Try both full and abbreviated names (e.g., "Saint Mary's" and "St Mary's")
- Search by your postcode instead of school name
- Check for variations in spacing or punctuation
Can't find your school? Click "Can't find your school?" to add it manually.
Important: Take time to search thoroughly before adding a new school. If you create a duplicate entry for an existing school, the accounts cannot be merged later.
Step 5: Enter your school details (if adding a new school)
If your school isn't found, you'll need to provide:
- School name
- Town or city and Postcode
- Country and Timezone
- School phase (Primary, Secondary, etc.) and age ranges
- Website (optional)
Take care with these details - what you enter here will be displayed as your school's information to all teachers and students who use the platform at your school. Make sure the school name and location details are accurate and professional.
Double-check your school details before continuing.
Step 6: Create your account
You'll now choose your signup method and enter your account details:
Choose your signup method:
- Google (if your school uses Google Workspace)
- Microsoft (if your school uses Microsoft 365)
- Email and password
If using email and password signup, you'll need to provide:
- First name and Last name
- Password and password confirmation
Review your information and click "Create account".
Step 7: Invite your colleagues (optional)
After creating your account, you can immediately invite colleagues to join your school on Dr Frost Maths.
Add colleague email addresses in the email field. You can invite multiple teachers by using the "Add email address" button to create additional fields.
Send invitations by clicking the "Send" button, or "Skip for now" if you prefer to invite colleagues later.
What happens next? Invited teachers will receive an email invitation to join your school's Dr Frost Maths account. They can then create their own teacher accounts linked to your school.
You can always invite more teachers later through the Settings > Teachers section of your account.
This step helps you get your whole maths department involved from the start of your trial, but it's completely optional if you want to explore the platform on your own first.
Step 8: Finalise - Your school is ready!
Congratulations! Your school is set up and you can now choose whether to subscribe straight away, start with a free trial, or continue with limited access to the site.
If you choose to Start your 60-day free trial, the trial will start immediately so you can start exploring the platform straight away! You can subscribe at any time during your trial. Your paid subscription will start when the trial ends, so you won't lose any free days.
If you choose to Subscribe now, you'll then just need to either fill out the billing details yourself, or send the billing details form to an appropriate colleague for them to complete.
The cost of subscription is as follows:
- UK schools: £650 + VAT
- International schools: £750
As soon as the billing details are submitted, your subscription will become active, you will have full access to the site, and an invoice will be generated and sent to the billing email provided.
If instead you choose to continue with limited access, you won't be able to access any paid features of the site. However, you will be able to start a 60-day free trial or subscription at any time.
What happens next?
Once you have started your trial or set up your subscription, you'll have full access to the site and be able to:
- Browse or create courses that map to your scheme of work
- Explore the questions and resource bank
- Set up your first class
- Create worksheets and set tasks for students
- Invite more teachers to join your school

School search issues
If you can't find your school but think it probably already exists in our system, email our support team at support@drfrost.org and we'll help you locate it.
If you accidentally created a duplicate school, contact us immediately - we may be able to help if you haven't started using the account yet, but we cannot merge schools once they're in active use.
