Ensure no school is left behind

We understand that delivering consistent, compliant PSHE education across every school in a MAT can be challenging — especially with varying levels of staff confidence and experience, an evolving policy landscape, and the increasingly complex range of issues children and young people are navigating today.

We work in partnership with over 80 MATs of all stripes across England to overcome these challenges with confidence.

A comprehensive PSHE/RSHE curriculum, adaptable to every school

Our Programme of Study and Curriculum Models provide a cohesive, fully-sequenced PSHE curriculum covering the full breadth of statutory RSHE and wider essential PSHE education, supported by 500+ quality assured lesson plans.

Adopting our package ensures every school in your trust works from the same baseline standard — not just achieving full statutory compliance, but delivering a consistent high-quality PSHE provision, while maintaining the flexibility to tailor PSHE/RSHE to their own context, priorities, and pupil needs (including built-in support for SEND pupils in both mainstream and special school settings).

Trust leaders can maintain central oversight and visibility over a MAT-wide standard, whilst individual schools can evidence their own provision confidently when inspected.

Flexible, scalable CPD training 

We deliver tailored live CPD training for MATs, either face-to-face or online and scheduled around your trust’s calendar.

Our training is evidence-based and grounded in current research, designed to upskill both PSHE leads and non-specialist staff across different experience levels and strengthen PSHE delivery at a whole-school and whole-trust level.

Sessions can be booked as one-offs or as part of a wider programme designed around your trust's CPD goals, across multiple terms or school years.

Group membership for your whole trust

We offer discounted group membership to help MATs deliver manageable, sustainable, and affordable provision across all of your schools — with year-round support from our dedicated membership team.

Standard Group membership packages replicate the School membership benefits for your whole team, including
