Collingwood Learning

Three years ago, “Inseparable” was first experienced by Scottish schools. Since then, its reach has grown, but it’s the impact that means the most. Conversations are being sparked, perspectives are shifting, and the memory of those lost at Srebrenica is being honoured in classrooms across the country.

Inseparable follows three young people whose lives are upended by extremism and hatred during the Bosnian War, a story that carries the same weight and urgency today as it did 30 years ago.

The project is supported by Beyond Srebrenica and The Gordon Cook Foundation.

Calling Essex schools, this one is for your Year 11s!

Dead End is a FREE road safety programme from Collingwood Learning and Safer Essex Roads Partnership, and we’re looking for schools across Essex to get involved this September.

A team of three professional actors comes to you, performing a powerful, age-appropriate piece, followed by an interactive workshop that explores young driver and passenger behaviors, getting students genuinely thinking about risk, consequences, and the choices that matter. Teachers also receive a follow-up lesson plan to keep the conversation going in the classroom.

No cost. No travel. Just real, impactful theatre delivered straight to your school.

We did it - and then some!
Thanks to every single person who donated, shared, or cheered us on during Colour Run 2026, we smashed our fundraising target for Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice, raising an incredible 181% of our goal.
Every pound raised helps continue providing vital care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families, giving them precious time together and support when it matters most.
If you’d still like to support the charity, it’s never too late to get involved - every contribution genuinely makes a difference to families who need it.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. 💙

After taking part in Dead End, 95% of young people pledged to always wear a seat belt.
That’s not a statistic. That’s hundreds of future journeys made safer. And that’s the power of real road safety education.

Dead End is one of the most powerful road safety programmes we deliver, and we’re proud to bring it to young people across Essex in partnership with Safer Essex Roads.

This spring term, we’ve brought Split Second into schools across Surrey, onto stages, and in front of young people who really needed to hear its message, and the response has been extraordinary.
From the very first performance to the final one, every show reminded us exactly why this work matters. Road safety isn’t just a statistic, it’s a conversation that saves lives, and this spring term we took that conversation directly to over 7,400 young people.
 
A live tour of this scale doesn’t happen without a huge team of dedicated people, and we want to take a moment to say a genuine thank you to every single one of them.
To our actors - you brought Split Second to life every single day, in school halls, in front of fresh audiences, with energy and commitment that never wavered. The way you connected with these young people, held the room, and carried the emotional weight of the story was truly something to be proud of. Thank you for showing up and giving everything, show after show.
To the schools across Surrey - thank you for welcoming us in and trusting us with your students’ time. The warmth we felt in every school, from the staff who arranged the spaces to the Year 7 students who watched with such focus, made every performance feel worthwhile. 
To Surrey RoadSafe - this tour wouldn’t exist without our brilliant partners at Surrey RoadSafe. Your commitment to road safety education, and to putting it in front of young people at exactly the right moment, is what drives this whole project forward. We’re so proud to work alongside you.
 
The feedback we received from schools this term says it better than we ever could:
“I thought it was excellent, extremely engaging and informative. The actors and the play really made the characters alive and relatable to the students. This made the ending all the more effective. My year group were fully immersed in the storyline and fully involved in the workshop section at the end.”

Over the course of this year’s campaign, we’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 9,400 Year 9 students across schools with Travel Hacks, sparking important conversations about the choices young people make as they travel more independently.
The feedback from schools has been fantastic, and it’s a real reminder of why this work matters.
None of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our school partners - thank you to every teacher, coordinator, and student who welcomed us in and engaged so genuinely with the programme.
A huge thank you to Safer Essex Roads Partnership, who commissioned Travel Hacks and whose commitment to young people’s safety is at the heart of this project. We’re so proud to do this work alongside you.
