Due to investment in Gen+ we've been able to drop prices for schools right across the country.

What does that mean?๐Ÿค”

If you're a Primary School, you can access for just ยฃ100; and Secondary Schools can deliver four programmes for ยฃ500.

Just part of what we're doing to make #metaskills accessible ๐Ÿค

We recently hosted a CLPL session with @fifecouncil.bsky.socialย Probationer teachers to share the Gen+ programme.

Here's some of the feedback we had on our session, it's always great to meet teachers passionate about #MetaSkills ๐Ÿ’ซ

It's all about balance!

Feedback is important to us, it lets us understand what works and what we need to focus on to support our Gen+ schools; so it's always great to have such a glowing report! ๐Ÿ“ƒ

Are you a Gen+ school? Let us know what you think of our Web App and resources! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

We call them #MetaSkills, but you might call them #Employability Skills or #TransferrableSkills.

These are 'learning-to-learn' skills; timeless and transferrable, that empower us to face challenges, develop ourselves, and succeed in learning, life and work.

We're running a Future-Ready Classrooms session with #SLS on Wed 22nd April.

We'll share how the Gen+ programme strengthens & connects what schools are already doing; amplifying & supporting existing activity, rather than adding extra layers ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Head to #SchoolLeadersScotland to book your space ๐ŸŽซ

Christmas films, but make it educational ๐Ÿซก

We use #MetaSkills all the time, and so does The Grinch! We had great fun spotting skills in these classic Christmas films, but what have we missed?

Share your fave festive flicks that show Meta-Skills with us! ๐Ÿ‘€๐ŸŽ„

It's almost 2026, and with that comes plenty of good intentions & #NewYearsResolutions.

We had a think about how some of our own resolutions might include #MetaSkills - and here's what Helenor, Lydia and Becca came up with!

What's your New Year's Resolution, and what skills will you be using? ๐Ÿค”

Our pupil booklets are a hit, by downloading them at the beginning of the course, you can keep all resources handy. The flexibility of our course means that if you'd rather use these digitally, you can!

No-one knows your learners better than you do, that's why we've made it easier to engage young people with #MetaSkills.

You can still deliver our pre-built courses; but now you can create your own bespoke learning journeys to meet needs, and support your school improvement plan.

Get started today!
