Welcome to our website

As specialists in high-quality educational consultancy and professional development, we provide focussed support for school improvement, inclusive education and ICT - to benefit all children, young people and enhance the experiences of educational professionals.

Improving schools and organisations is a complex, dynamic and continuous process - there are no quick fixes. We have a proven track record of effective support, working in partnership with schools and other organisations to promote high quality learning experiences for children, young people and professional educators. We create professional Apps (UK) as well as educational Apps for children and early learners.

Our Latest Educational App – 'Find the Way'

Available for iPad via the App Store.

This App has been designed for children aged 7+ so they can learn about identifying grid locations on a range of themed maps by using named squares, such as B2, or coordinates like (3,3).

There are six challenges in the App to work through and attempts can be recorded and a child's performance can be reviewed (ideal for multi-use by children in schools). The five themed maps are an island, a park, a city centre, the beach and a local area.

Exploiting the potential of ICT in education

Making use of podcasting and other Web 2.0 technologies can enhance and enrich the learning environments and communities for children, young people and educational professionals alike. The much heralded Raspberry Pi^® offers plenty of scope for extending teaching and learning in classrooms – read more here.

Examples include our mobile version of this website, the podcast directory, our Online Learning Studio and our educational apps for busy educational professionals as well as our series of early learning Apps for young children. See full range of our Apps in the App Store.

The Ed-Reader for the iPhone^® 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch^® and iPad (in iPhone emulator mode), is available in the App Store^SM.

These examples illustrate our commitment to exploiting the educational potential of Web 2.0 technologies - such as weblogs or blogs, bookmarking, podcasts, RSS feeds, wikis and other forms of “many to many” publishing, such as course management systems for virtual learning environments. Our e-Learning weblog: Anytime, Anywhere Learners explores some of the topical innovations and issues from an educational perspective.

Finally, on our website you can also view, evaluate and use the UK's first and best podcast directory for educators, schools and colleges. This provides access to a wide range of audio, enhanced and video podcasts produced by schools as well as a wide range of organisations. Listed podcasts are carefully selected, quality assured and categorised into educational sectors and the main subject areas.
