Our world is changing,
and so should education

We have been aware for some time now that the industrial age, production-line model our educational system is based on, needs to be transformed.  This system was designed for a different time; a time driven by the need for conformity and standardisation.  And it has served us well for many years.

But the rate of change in our world is exponential.  We can no longer develop the mindsets and capabilities that our students need to be leaving our school gates with, by using traditional approaches.  We can’t just ‘tweak' the old system, or 'add on’ something more to our already full programmes.  We need something different.  Something new.  Something innovative and future-focused!

What if we help you embed
innovative, future-focused approaches in your school?

We believe there isn’t one single approach that on its own, will empower the vision of innovative, future-focused education. Instead, we work from what we believe are 10 of the most essential beliefs and approaches. (see below) We acknowledge that these 10 areas are indeed powerful approaches all on their own.

However we know that when they’re synthesised together into a journey that suits each school’s unique identity, their power is truly unleashed.  When Bek Galloway first work with schools, she often starts focusing on just one of the 10 approaches.  However their interrelated nature often means she delve in and out of all 10 at different points in time.  Our 10 approaches are:
