What if instead taking a series of exams at the end of the summer term, young people were instead assessed in lots of different ways throughout the year?
Welcome to the Ideas Playground
If you have been inspired by what you have heard or taken part in, then come share your creatively brave idea. Tall trees start with small acorns – get planting.
Driving education
What if learners are in the drivers seat?
Reversing roles
What if there was a school where adults can learn from young people?
Dont get ready – start
So often in education, we have ideas of what we want to change and we wait for permission to do this. We need to create and support autonomy to do things differently. Let’s spark a revolution!
Play like a child
“As children, we just play. We create. We don’t look over our shoulders and worry about how our works compare to others, We are completely present in the moment of making.” – John S Couch
School of Curiosity
Imagine if children would be provided with a space to learn specifically about the unique things they love! A school system where an educator is sourced to meet the interests of a child and not the other way around.
Fresh ideas
What if we worked outside 50% of the time? Doing maths in the forest surrounded by bird sounds, learning about physics sitting on a tree or studying literature on top of a hill.
Climate education
What if the climate was put at the heart of the curriculum? Could this help create more solutions to our global crisis?
Morning ritual
What if every morning started with a snack and a chat to strengthen the connection between both students and educators?
