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!

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:
What if we create environments where learners are confident to get actively involved and engaged in their learning?
Learn MoreWhat if we provide learners with relevant and timely information to support their development?
Learn MoreWhat if the process of learning is connected & purposeful where learners learn what they need, when they need it?
Learn MoreWhat if we develop a curriculum best suited to the learners it is designed to educate?
Learn MoreWhat if we help learners develop the skills, strategies & dispositions for different types of thinking?
Learn MoreWhat if teachers and learners work together as a team to achieve great results for all?
Learn MoreWhat if we increase learners' capabilities to own and drive their learning in ways that are best for them?
Learn MoreWhat if we work with learners to design a learning programme that is tailor-made to suit them best?
Learn MoreWhat if learners find & use information for a reason or purpose which they believe is important?
Learn MoreWhat if we unpack the curriculum so learners understand it well enough to make their own good decisions?
