We help schools develop independent, lifelong learners.

We enable educators to get the best out of their pupils by developing resources that enable children to think their way through the curriculum. Our learning toolkit provides teachers with the tools and skills they need to achieve their educational goals.

What's your classroom priority?

Our resources address multiple learning agendas

Learner Passivity

A general apathy seems to prevail with specific cohorts of children. They're not curious and avoid any intellectual challenge.

Critical Thinking
Lack of independence

Learners have difficulty getting started, creating plans and being reflective. You feel that you are constantly 'spoon feeding'.

Writing
Gaps in Attainment

Comprehension difficulties make accessing subject matter difficult. Problems arise when trying to use and explain new knowledge.

This new approach to learning, rooted in cognitive science, will enable your pupils to engage with the curriculum and express themselves more effectively. I encourage you to think about how the concepts on this site could support the priority groups in your school. Adopting the framework and the block building toolkits could be a step in the right direction.
