Schools play an important role in helping children develop far more than subject knowledge. Every day, pupils are learning the skills that help them communicate, solve problems, work with others, think creatively and face challenges with confidence. These transferable skills shape how children learn, build relationships and respond to the opportunities and challenges they encounter every day. Skills are not developed by simply learning about them. They grow through experience, reflection and opportunities to use them every day. Skills for Learning, Life and Work is a ready-to-use assembly programme designed to bring these essential skills to life. Across twelve engaging filmed assemblies, pupils discover each skill through fascinating stories drawn from science, psychology, nature and the real world, combined with practical activities, humour and meaningful discussion. Designed for primary schools, the programme is fully filmed and simple to deliver. Staff can press play, facilitate discussion and create meaningful opportunities for whole-school reflection without extensive preparation. Built around the twelve Meta-Skills identified by Skills Development Scotland, the programme provides a practical and engaging way to develop transferable skills that are recognised and valued across education throughout the UK. These assemblies are designed to spark conversations, strengthen relationships and help these essential skills move beyond the assembly hall into classrooms, playgrounds, homes and everyday life.

Only shown to your membersSet up a private SpaceWelcome to Values in Action Values help shape every school community. They influence how pupils treat one another, respond to challenges, make decisions and contribute to the culture of the school. Yet values are often easier to display on a wall than they are to bring to life. Values in Action is a ready to use assembly programme designed to help pupils explore what values look like in everyday life. Through a series of filmed assemblies, children discover that values are not simply words to remember, but behaviours that are lived through the choices they make every day. Designed for primary schools, each assembly is fully filmed and simple to deliver. Staff can press play, facilitate the discussion activities and create meaningful opportunities for whole school reflection without extensive preparation. Grounded in wellbeing, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the principles of Rights Respecting Schools, the programme helps schools develop a shared language around values while encouraging children to understand that every interaction, every decision and every response helps shape both the person they become and the community they create. These assemblies are designed to spark conversations, strengthen relationships and help values move beyond the assembly hall into classrooms, playgrounds, homes and everyday life.
A practical course designed to help managers, leaders, and professionals develop emotional intelligence and related workplace skills for success in a modern, AI-enhanced environment.
What this course is for After this course, you will be able to set up one working, documented, privacy-compliant AI workflow for your own team: A small second brain A saved skill One read-only connection to a system you already use, and one scheduled agent that produces a weekly report a colleague can rely on. Each lesson moves you one step towards it. Throughout this course, you will build each of the following parts: Three second-brain pages for your business (built in Lesson 6, maintained in Lesson 7). One saved skill, with a real before-and-after output (built in Lesson 3). A completed privacy checklist naming every AI account your team uses and its training status (built in Lessons 9 and 10). One agent brief and its first output: a scheduled report with a definition of done, rules for uncertainty, and boundaries (built in Lessons 11 and 12, adapted again in Lessons 13–16). Every lesson's checkpoint is a small rehearsal of one of those four parts. Who this is for Someone who has tried an AI chat tool a few times and suspects it could do more. No technical background needed. Jargon is kept to the minimum and explained the first time it appears. Products are named (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, Copilot, Attio, Xero and others) because vague advice is useless advice.

This free short guide takes you through the process step by step, from deciding whether franchising fits your life and finances to researching opportunities, carrying out due diligence and preparing for your first months of trading. Written by Franchise Foundry in partnership with Those Who Can, it offers a realistic starting point rather than a sales pitch. You do not need to have chosen a franchise, or even decided that franchising is right for you. Who this course is for This course is for serving and former teachers who: are curious about franchise ownership; want to understand the likely stages before approaching a brand; would like to compare franchising with other career or business options; or have already found an opportunity and want to ask better questions. What you will learn By the end of the course, you will be able to: recognise how teaching experience can transfer to franchise ownership; assess your preferred level of investment, responsibility and risk; compare franchise opportunities more critically; identify the financial, legal and practical checks to complete; plan a possible transition around your own timetable; and understand the priorities during launch and early trading. Important note Franchise Foundry originally wrote this roadmap with hospitality franchises in mind. That is why some examples refer to cafés, pubs, food costs, premises and larger opening teams. However, the underlying principles apply to almost any franchise a teacher may be curious about, including tutoring, children’s activities, education, wellbeing, professional services, home-based and mobile businesses. Not every franchise requires premises, employees or a large investment. As you work through this guide, translate each stage to the type of opportunity you are considering. Where a hospitality example does not apply directly, ask: What is the equivalent risk, cost or operational responsibility in this business? This guide is for general information and reflection. It is not financial, legal, pensions or employment advice. Figures and contractual arrangements vary between franchises and can change. Always check current information and seek appropriately qualified independent advice before committing.
