Private tuition can cost £50 an hour. For a family already feeling the strain of exam season, that is a serious commitment — and one session rarely gives a student a transferable method.

Last Minute Revision is a different kind of investment. £29. Two hours. Five modules of structured technique built on cognitive science. Lifetime access.

Not a substitute for a tutor when one is genuinely needed. But for the much larger group of teenagers who do not need more subject content — they need to know how to study what they already have — this is the right tool at the right price.

Heritage education, rooted in the archive.

More Curricular builds heritage programmes for schools, exhibitions, and community audiences across London — drawing on parish records, guild ledgers, and the voices of people who lived the history.

Our latest programme is Carnival 60 — six months at Mason & Fifth in Westbourne Park marking 60 years of Notting Hill Carnival. In Conversation with Ansel Wong CBE, Allyson Williams MBE, Robert Singh and Leslie Palmer MBE. A free schools exhibition, In Full Colour, runs 17–19 July.

Opens Wednesday 27 May with Jamila Bolton-Gordon, daughter of Rhodan Gordon of the Mangrove Nine.

Past programmes: Written in the Records (Wandsworth London Borough of Culture, 2025) and In Plain Sight: Annabell Furner (Grocers' Hall, 2026).

Happy Easter from More Handwriting 🐣

Wishing all our families and educators a restful break, and if the little ones are scribbling over everything this weekend, that's fine by us.

It's all early writing. 🖊️

A landmark 2025 review of 233 studies found that most inclusive education research still focuses on requiring autistic children to adapt to school rather than adapting the school to the child. Sensory and physical environment changes remain among the least-researched areas, despite evidence that the mismatch between school settings and individual needs directly hinders learning.

A separate 2025 study argues that inclusive education must move beyond deficit-based models and build from the lived experience of autistic students and autistic teachers. Yet most teachers say they have not received enough autism-specific training, despite wanting it.

Quality education starts with understanding every learner. When we design learning around people rather than expecting people to fit the system, everyone benefits.

Our free Education White Paper 2026 explores how schools can build more responsive, inclusive practice.

When students sketch historical buildings, map out timelines, or diagram concepts, they're building visual literacy, spatial reasoning, and memory retention. They're learning to observe carefully, think critically, and express ideas beyond words.

At More Curricular, we teach essential skills like handwriting, academic writing, and learning techniques through heritage education. Our London walking tours and school workshops don't just deliver history - they develop the foundational skills students need for lifelong academic success.

Because real learning happens when students engage with the world beyond the classroom.

Merry Christmas from More Curricular

Season's greetings from everyone at More Curricular!

As 2025 comes to a close, we're grateful for another year of heritage education and skills development across London.

LOOKING BACK AT 2025

We've continued combining essential skills training with critical thinking through heritage education, working with students, families, and schools across the capital. Our courses in handwriting, academic writing, and learning techniques help students build the foundational skills they need, while our heritage walks bring London's hidden histories to life.

WALKING TOURS & HERITAGE EDUCATION

Our London heritage walks transform the capital's streets into a living classroom where students and visitors develop critical thinking by questioning narratives and hearing voices often left out of textbooks.

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2026

We're preparing for exciting projects including our Notting Hill Carnival 60th Anniversary Programme and Women's History Month celebrating medieval women with Mossbourne Community Academy and St Mary's Primary School.

We will also continue our partnerships with Hackney Council, RBKC, Wandsworth Council, and Hammersmith & Fulham to deliver heritage walks.

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a happy 2026.

More Curricular - Critical Thinking Through Heritage & Skills Training

Ever wonder why you look more like one parent even though you got 50% DNA from each?

Gene expression is wild. Your DNA isn't split evenly down the middle – it's deciding which traits to turn up and which to turn down. Sometimes old traits resurface generations later, like your great-grandmother's hands or your grandfather's smile.

This is the same science behind the Habsburg jaw – that distinctive feature you see in portraits of European royalty who married within the family for centuries. Recessive traits kept expressing because the gene pool was so small.

🧬 GCSE Biology makes so much more sense when you can see it in real faces, real family photos, real history.

More Curricular exists to make curriculum content click. Study skills, revision tips, and those moments where it all suddenly makes sense.

The Economist is right: handwriting helps you learn better than typing.

Research shows that when you write by hand, you process and retain information more effectively. The physical act of forming letters engages your brain differently, creating stronger memory connections.

This matters for students, professionals, and anyone learning new skills. Whether you're taking notes in a meeting, studying for exams, or working through complex ideas, putting pen to paper gives you an edge.

Sometimes the old ways work best.
