Common questions

Heads ask. We answer.

  • How much does it cost the school?

    The 2025/26 founding cycle is free for schools. National rollout pricing will be published before the next cycle and will include MAT and group offers.

  • How much teacher time does it need?

    A Teacher Champion typically spends 1–2 hours per week during the cycle. Most of the work happens in students' own time, with lesson-plan support for classroom use.

  • Where does it map to the curriculum?

    Categories align to CCEA, GCSE, A-Level, T-Levels, Gatsby Benchmarks and PSHE. A mapping document is included in the School Information Pack.

  • Is it safeguarded?

    Yes. A draft Safeguarding Policy is published and the Designated Safeguarding Lead is named on the Safeguarding page. Photo/video consent is opt-in per student.

MAT & council partnerships

Whole-trust and council rollouts.

We work with multi-academy trusts, education authorities and councils on regional rollouts with shared reporting, a single point of contact and tailored safeguarding agreements.
