Big news from our partner National Grid 🌟

A new £5 million fund to help 5,000 young people who aren’t in education, employment or training find their route into work, through training, qualifications, mentoring and real jobs in energy and infrastructure.

This is the mission we already share. Through Grid for Good, we’ve built an immersive Experience that has primary children exploring renewable energy and picturing themselves as engineers, right there in the classroom. Because every route into work starts somewhere. Often years earlier, with a child being given the chance to feel capable and worth investing in.

Proud to stand alongside National Grid:

As the school year draws to a close, we want to say a heartfelt thank you.

To every school that welcomed us in, piloted new content, and shared thoughtful feedback from staff and pupils: thank you. And to the teachers and support staff who bring our Experiences to life each day, thank you for your creativity, enthusiasm, and care.

This year has reminded us what matters most: inclusive, engaging learning where every child can take a full and active part.

We are also grateful to our Advisory Panel and to the wider community for helping shape what comes next.

In September, our mission remains the same: to create powerful immersive stories that make learning accessible, engaging and memorable for every child.

Thank you for trusting us to play a small but essential part in your pupils’ learning.

The Government has set a target for 75% of five-year-olds to reach a good level of development by 2028.

For EYFS leads and school leaders, the challenge is clear: how do you strengthen provision across the Early Learning Goals without adding to planning load?

With , children step into immersive audio lessons that support through story, movement, , and .

Our immersive storytelling helps build:
- listening, attention and understanding
- speaking and comprehension
- self-regulation
- relationships
- gross motor skills

Minimal Preparation Required. Inclusive. Curriculum-aligned. Ready to use.

And with increased Early Years Pupil Premium funding and new inclusion funding on the way, the mandate and the funding are moving in the same direction.

How strong is your school’s enrichment offer, really?

From September, Ofsted will assess through five personal development categories.

To help you prepare, we’ve created a free 10-question self-audit. It’s a simple way to spot what’s working, where the gaps are, and what needs attention before September.

Use it with your SLT, share it with governors, or work through it over a cup of tea.

Want to feel more confident about your enrichment offer?

From September, Ofsted will look at enrichment as part of personal development across five categories.

We have created a free, 10-question self-audit to help you see clearly where your offer is strong, where it is thin, and which gaps do not require another lunchtime club.

Use it with your SLT, share it with governors, or complete it quietly with a cup of tea and know where you stand before September: https://bit.ly/4psQtC6
