We're off! 30 budding teenage entrepreneurs gathered after school to begin their journey into the business world - with 'Tellatale Educational Productions'.

After several tuck shops, bag packs and other fund raising initiatives we raise enough funds to print our first children's book - 'Olly and Molly Discover London'.

Middlesbrough Football Club In The Community approach us and commission the production of adventure books and resources for their school programmes.

“By using Engaging Education to fulfil specific areas and demands in Enterprise and Financial Capability Education, they helped the school secure a third consecutive Outstanding Ofsted. I do hope to continue to use them as we aim to secure PFEG Financial Capability Accreditation in 2014/15.”

Stuart Webb, Head of Enterprise - Wakefield City Academy

“One of our students should have had an anger management session. He didn't want to miss his work with Engaging Education, as he was enjoying the project and doing some really good work. He has real issues with motivation and behaviour so to see him wanting to take part in a lesson was wonderful.”

Helen Purves, SEN Co-ordinator - Malet Lambert School.

“We have seen our numbers increase massively due to our effective marketing…without EngagingE this wouldn’t have been possible.”

Justine Tipler, Director of Post-16 Learning – Ossett Sixth Form College

Immy joins us as ‘Director - Principle Designer’, extensively developing our workshops, projects and services.

Greg’s passion and media expertise is matched with the purchase of our HD Filming equipment, developing student-led and bespoke promotion.

We react to the increasing demand for our services by bringing Johnny on board the EngagingE team.

Over the last 12 months, we work with 25,000 young people across England - helping schools with attainment and engagement, transition and promotion.

As you can tell from our timeline, it’s been an interesting journey getting to where we are today.

We are a team of six young people, working alongside schools, authorities, councils and organisations delivering bespoke workshops, projects, products, creative media and design solutions. We specialise in:

• Raising Attainment and Engagement

• Pupil Transition

• Promotion

• Partnership Resources

We help you to achieve your aims.

Our workshops meet key Ofsted targets, measures and criteria, which are increasingly being cited as methods of ‘good practice’.

Our philosophy is simple; we deliver project based learning, with fast paced workshops focussed around the production of a final, professional end product. This engages students, develops key academic skills, utilises our extensive creative talents and gives you a worthwhile, tangible product with a true legacy value.

We understand that every school is different. Therefore, we guarantee you more flexibility than a toy slinky. Whether it’s a long-term literacy intervention, an SEN numeracy workshop or a full year group enterprise day – we will work with you to clarify your needs and ensure your expectations are achieved.

We are different to everyone else. We don’t disappear following the workshop(s). Instead, that’s where we kick into action, as we transform the students’ work and concepts into the final, professional product. Here are some examples of how our creative team do just that:

DVD PRODUCTION

Non-fiction writing

Formal language/literacy

Organising and planning

BOARD GAME

Numeracy skills

Enterprise/PSHE

Financial literacy

MAGAZINE

Non-fiction writing

Writing for purpose

Extended writing

COMIC BOOK

Narrative, creative writing

Expressions conveying effects

Speech, description and punctuation

FICTION BOOK

Narrative, creative writing

Character concepts and control

Correct vocabulary and grammar usage

We aim to alleviate the achievement gap, by recognised key drivers:

Varied forms of writing and activities to challenge all learners.

‘Leading Learning’ – utilising varied methods of teaching to improve learning outcomes.

Deliver ambitious and challenging learning activities to improve attainment and engagement amongst hard to reach students.

WHERE?

Malet Lambert School (11-16)

AIMS?

Engage disengaged Year 9 students through a long-term, literacy programme.

SOLUTION?

Develop narrative writing skills, focussing on speech and description, creating a professional group comic book featuring individual characters, plot lines and comic adventures. We worked with students over five days, guiding them through the complete comic production process. Following the workshop, Tony transformed every single student character and adventure strip into a professionally published, compilation comic book.

COST?

£2,784 (including five workshops, post-illustrative and design work and print of comic books).

HOW WAS THIS FUNDED?

Using dedicated SEN and Pupil Premium funds.

RESULTS?

Attendance increase by 20% / 1-2 Literacy Level increase / Student re-engagement with the curriculum.

Engagement:

“One of our students should have had an anger management session. He didn't want to miss his work with Engaging Education, as he was enjoying the project and doing some really good work. He has real issues with motivation and behaviour so to see him wanting to take part in a lesson was wonderful.”

CASE STUDY:FULL YEAR-GROUP ENTERPRISE & SMSC DROP-DOWN DAY

Our most loved project, ‘Media Week’ is three days of excitement, energy, academic improvement and of course, promotion!

WHY?

Nothing is more engaging, stimulating and persuasive for young people than hearing fellow learners passionately showcasing their school. We give young people the technology, capability, skills and power to do just that, with our ‘Media Week’ student-led, promotion projects.

HOW?

Working with the whole of Year 7 split across three full days – one day workshop per cohort of students.

WHAT?

Two professional, student-produced products:

A ‘Junior Prospectus’, promoting the school through the eyes of the students – providing a positive, relevant insight for prospective learners.

A DVD feature to promote specific areas of the school and day-to-day life. This is used online, through social media, at promotion/transition events and linked via QR codes from the ‘Junior Prospectus’ magazine.

Here’s how our Media Week projects help to meet the attainment aims, recognised by Ofsted as drivers to raising achievement:

Writing for purpose/target audience

Varied forms of writing and activities to challenge all learners

Independent learning

Student Voice

‘Leading Learning’ – utilising varied methods of teaching to improve learning outcomes in a creative and unique environment

Deliver ambitious and challenging learning activities to improve attainment and engagement amongst hard to reach students

Following the workshop, a professional promotion DVD was produced, alongside a ‘Junior Prospectus’ – used as a crucial part of the transition process.

COST?

£3,850 (including 3 full-day workshops, use of media equipment, five team members and the post work – editing and producing the promotion DVD and Junior Prospectus magazine).

HOW WAS THIS FUNDED?

“I loved that we could do it all day, I’m sure that the students will enjoy watching our DVD.”

Staff Feedback:

“We’ll have a video and materials to use for our Year 6 students, so when we start our transition work in the new term they’ll be able to see how wonderful Horbury Academy is. Our students developed literacy, teamwork and the use of new technology and skills that they wouldn’t normally get to do in lessons.”

Steve Brook, Deputy Headteacher – Horbury Academy

We also offer a private creative service, outside of our workshops, to help with the brand and marketing of your school.

We believe the promotion of your school should be unique and tailored to your needs. We don’t use templates, we don’t use sample text, we create engaging campaigns and materials bespoke to your school and what you want to achieve.

The best way to show you our work and truly bespoke nature, is in a summary case study – providing a snapshot of how we work alongside our clients.

AIMS?

To avoid the previous supplier’s template-based prospectus design and to give the college a clear identity, increasing presence and student numbers from outside the Academy.

SOLUTION?

A full re-brand campaign, developing into an on-going SLA for marketing and media support.

RESULTS?

“We have seen our numbers increase massively due to our effective marketing…without EngagingE this wouldn’t have been possible.”

We help to bridge the transition gap. Not only do we smoothen this process, but we also offer primary students a positive experience with your high school through short term, high-impact workshops designed to engage and improve attainment before entry.

It may be a one day workshop, a Summer School or a long-term project working with all primary partners. The duration and programme are flexible, but the concept of producing a final end product will always remain as the key output.

You may be wondering why you need to use us for the transition process, we believe it’s quite straight forward. Our workshops are fast-paced, interactive and aimed at improving academic attainment of students prior to Year 7. Also, the final, school-branded, product captures the attention of both students and parents, enabling the transmission of key values and messages.

“These students are making even better progress in English and mathematics than their peers and have integrated into the school community highly successfully.”
