Â鶹Éç

Education for all is core to the Â鶹Éç’s mission and purpose. Our vision as Â鶹Éç Education is to transform lives through education.

We do this in four ways:

• Our flagship website is Â鶹Éç Bitesize which provides educationally approved, curriculum relevant self-study and home-learning to 5-16 year olds.
• The Â鶹Éç Teach website supports teachers by working with the best of the Â鶹Éç’s brands and programmes to create curriculum related content for the classroom.
• Tiny Happy People supports parents and carers in developing language and communication skills of their 0-4 year-old children.
• Educational campaigns address societal needs and educational deficits. They are delivered with partners and aim to change behaviour. Recent examples include our environmental initiative The Regenerators and Moodboosters, which aims to get primary children moving to improve their mental health and wellbeing.

What we do

Providing a personalised structured learning experience

Â鶹Éç Bitesize supports students with their educational needs outside the classroom, at home and on the go. Bitesize is directly curriculum-relevant, making it an accurate and trusted resource for learners from reception age through to school-leaving exams and beyond.

Bitesize has been invaluable for young learners since 1998 and today supports the UK curricula in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales using a rich mix of video, audio, games, interactive activities, written content, infographics and guides. 

The Bitesize website also provides UK students with careers inspiration and advice; articles to support students as they navigate difficult person challenges; plus guidance for parents.

Today Bitesize welcomes 2.5 million unique browsers on average each week during term time. It was the top resource used by GCSE students in the last school year, as well as being rated as the most useful.

 aims to support teachers by curating the best of Â鶹Éç videos, Â鶹Éç archive and other curriculum-related resources for use in the classroom.

The Â鶹Éç Teach website includes over 6000 curriculum mapped short films, arranged by subject and age-group, available for teachers to use in the classroom; over 70 Live Lessons – 30 minute interactive programmes with accompanying resources; and educational campaigns including Moodboosters and Premier League Super Movers.

Tiny Happy People was launched in July 2020 to support parents and carers in developing the language and communication skills of their 0-4 year-old children. We have worked with a coalition of wide-ranging partners including The Royal Foundation, The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists and the National Literacy Trust. The Tiny Happy People website includes a range of simple activities and play ideas to improve the development of babies and young children.

Educational Campaigns - we run a range of educational campaigns which aim to address societal need and change behaviour. We run ambitious long-running campaigns such as our environmental initiative The Regenerators which launched in October 2021 and Moodboosters which launched in November 2022 to inspire primary school children around the UK to get moving and learning about their mental health and wellbeing. We also run smaller campaigns to support products, these include The Mind Set which offers revision advice and support for students taking their GCSEs/Nationals.

Information for Education resource providers

Â鶹Éç Education is committed to strengthening its relationship with education resource and EdTech companies in the commercial sector.

As well as opportunities to use Â鶹Éç Education content and link to other educational content from the Â鶹Éç website, Â鶹Éç Education holds regular industry events at which it shares information about its activities and plans.

The Â鶹Éç’s Royal Charter requires that we work with external partners to both fulfil our public purposes, and to support the wider creative sector. In Â鶹Éç Education, we do this by partnering with a small roster of education resource providers to co-produce curriculum content.

Content Partnership Roster
