“Amazing People Schools enables educators to create a bespoke model that suits their own school’s needs. At my previous school, it was a powerful tool for increasing the social capital of our students. My next project will be two-fold. Firstly, in making real the character traits we expect students to exhibit and enabling staff to recognise and reward these; and secondly, as a tool to empower pupil premium students to take on the selective test and gain access to grammar education. In short Amazing People Schools, when used well, is a level for social mobility.”
Teacher & Educational Consultant, Gold Coast, Australia
“Amazing People Schools provides an engaging and entertaining array of cross-curricular content that makes character education fun and interactive. I use the site to discuss amazing people in history, which springboards into a lesson and inspires discussion around positive characteristics and how to develop them. This not only improves students’ historical, geographical and cultural knowledge but most importantly gives them a rare and powerful opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth.”
Teacher, Pannal Primary School, North Yorkshire, England
“Amazing People Schools provides students with a wonderful opportunity to find out about important figures and how they have shaped the world. At times, they have learnt about people they had only heard the name of before. The inspiring vocabulary has become embedded in our class discussions and allowed us to share and develop what qualities we value. It has been a joy to use in class.”
Teacher, DLD College, London, UK
“I have been using Amazing People Schools resources for a number of years. The resources work brilliantly for lesson and assemblies but also as teaching tools to support character education. I have seen how these stories can encourage our next generation to develop their potential, explore history and better understand the challenges great achievers faced. This, in turn, can help students better understand the skills they need to overcome challenges in their own lives. If you are interested in a refreshing, engaging way to teach not only about character, but cross-curricular content too, I fully encourage you to use this educational tool; your students will not be disappointed and most importantly, they will remain engaged!”
Primary School Teacher and SENCO, London, UK
“Amazing People Schools is a vibrant and engaging opportunity for pupils to reflect on their own personal development and the choices they make in their learning. The stories and format are inspiring, interactive and true! In Amazing People Schools, teachers have a wonderful resource that enables genuine teaching and learning that could impact on every aspect of a pupil’s learning journey.”
