Our Head of Finance Zuber Ahmed shared our finance report showing continued growth resulting in another year of fantastic financial results meaning we have once again given more money back to schools. Quote of the night has to be, “An average primary school using The Education Space services over the past 5 years will have saved over £15,000.” If you want to be part of an organisation that doesn’t just deliver a great service, but that also actively works to give back to your school then get in touch with our Head of Business Development Stewart Kiddell.

hen everyone’s finances are stretched it can be challenging to keep asking the same people for money. Traditional forms of fundraising, such as sponsored walks, PTA discos and cake sales are an option but these are most often used to raise money for charities. Here are some alternatives that you might not have tried – yet, but which could be more sustainable.

Tesco, Waitrose and Co-op are just a few examples of businesses that offer a token or nomination system. These supermarkets are aiming to feature at least one school in each appeal so it’s a great time to apply. Importantly, this kind of giving doesn’t cost you or your parents any extra, they just shop and drop (the token).

If you prefer online shopping, there is a tool to raise money from your parents and friends shopping online. Easyfundraising provides a free, easy-to-use platform to raise funds. The school signs up and shares a link with parents. When they shop online (in over 8,000 online retailers) a percentage goes directly to the school; this doesn’t cost the school, or parent, any extra – the retailers donate this out of their own profits. → evolveadvice.co.uk/fundingfinder Do you have any other imaginative and successful fundraising tips?

Why Imagination is the Most Underrated Classroom Resource The Institute of Imagination (iOi)
Carrie Anne Philbin MBE, Director of Learning at the Institute of Imagination, former teacher and host of Crash Course Computer Science YouTube series, discusses how and why we need to better understand the potential and impact of our imagination and its capacity to support children and young people’s learning about the world and how they respond to its emerging challenges. We find ourselves in a rapidly changing world where disruption and change have become the norm. We know that tremors of political, economic, technological, and social change have, at times, brought turbulence to our education system, and local communities too. Indeed, uncertainty, can all too often feel like the only certainty of this decade. Teachers are at the forefront of navigating challenges faced by children and their families. Schools remain anchors of our communities, and we each cultivate classrooms that are supportive and safe environments for children to aspire, grow and learn. It is our duty to develop their knowledge, skills, and resilience. Every day, we shape future generations to be the leaders of tomorrow.

However, a glaring challenge confronts the profession: 65 percent of children will work in jobs that do not exist yet. So how can educators prepare students for a future that is just so difficult even for us grown-ups to predict? It is time for us to all use our imagination. In this golden age of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and quantum, you would be forgiven for drawing assumptions that the education sector will pivot its focus sharply to developing STEM competencies among children and young people. This month, the government announced its intentions for maths education to be compulsory until 18, and the latest set of exam results show it is not alone in this shift. The number of students undertaking a computer science A-Level has risen by 65 percent in the last four years alone. In comparison, the number of GCSE entries for performing arts dropped by 16 percent since 2022. As a former Computing teacher and communicator, it is not surprising that I delight in seeing the popularity of computer science amongst children and young people rise. Indeed,

Children think more creatively, come up with new possibilities and career pathways, ask thoughtful questions, and are more confident in approaching complex problems. Crucially, as schools grapple with the ongoing recruitment and retention crisis in education, we hear how more imagination in the classroom has revitalised not only the joy of learning, but the joy of teaching too.
Successfully creating more space for STEAM in primary and second education requires more room to let pupils’ imagination flourish, not less. Children need to be encouraged to ask questions, It’s also important explore different to bust persistent perspectives, and unhelpful and approach myths that the problems from arts are not a new direction compatible – all core skills with STEM.
