About the team

We are a team, led by Katie and Rob Harrison, who all feel incredibly passionate about education.

We believe in giving children opportunities to learn about themselves and the world we live in. We believe in giving children a voice and encouraging them to use it to impact things they are inspired by or feel passionately about.

We believe in developing confidence, independence, respect and resilience. Creating resources based around ever-changing current affairs that can do all this, would be a huge time constraint for teachers so we have done it for you! With your support, we know our resources can make a difference to the children in the schools we work with.

Meet the Team

We are using Picture News posters as our assembly focus every week. They are brilliant at catching the children's attention and highlighting current news items in a child friendly way. Thank you for revamping our Assemblies and bringing the news into our school.
Deputy Head, Thrumpton Primary School

We all love the resource and think it is one of the best things we have invested in at our school. So time-saving for teachers and really thought-provoking for the children.
