Results You Can Point To
Every programme ends in something tangible — a showcase, a competition, a publication or a formal qualification. Not a certificate of attendance.
Programmes — For Schools
For Schools
Turnkey enrichment programmes, built around your timetable — not ours. Edition 2026/27.
The problem
Schools know these skills matter. The timetable makes them difficult to teach.
Academic programmes are designed to build knowledge. Students also need repeated opportunities to practise the human skills that turn knowledge into confident action.
“From knowing the answer to having the confidence to use it.”
Limited dedicated time
Communication, performance and leadership compete with an already crowded timetable.
Practise
Students build confidence through structured speaking, writing, performance and discussion — every session, not occasionally.
Practice is inconsistent
Students understand the theory without enough structured opportunity to apply it.
Apply
Programmes connect communication, critical thinking and leadership to real-world contexts and real audiences.
Skills stay invisible
Progress in confidence, clarity and collaboration is hard to see without a framework.
Grow
Schools gain a coherent framework for developing, recognising and reporting progress beyond grades.
Turnkey Solutions for Schools
We arrive with the curriculum written, the educators trained, the materials prepared and the outcome planned. You tell us the year group, the slot and the goal. We handle everything from the first lesson to the final showcase.
We Know How Busy Schools Are
Our team has worked inside schools. We know a co-curricular programme lives or dies on how much work it creates for the person coordinating it — so we designed ours to create almost none. No lesson planning, no resource hunting, no chasing. One point of contact, and a programme that runs.
What partnership gives you
Flexible & Adaptable
Term length, session length, year group, group size, room, timetable slot. We build around your constraints.
Fully Customisable
Want debate with a stronger writing component? A leadership unit tied to your service programme? We will write it.
Turnkey Delivery
Curriculum, educators, materials and outcomes — all provided. Your team does not write a single lesson plan.
Minimal Administration
Every educator is trained to our standards, every session follows a documented curriculum, and every programme is reviewed against its objectives.
High Quality Control
Every educator is trained to our standards, every session follows a documented curriculum, and every programme is reviewed against its objectives.
Comprehensive Support
Scheme of work, student materials, progress reporting, parent-facing communication and end-of-programme review — included.
Clear & Transparent Pricing
One quoted price per programme. No per-student surcharges, no materials fees, no surprises at invoice.
Fits Your Curriculum
Our programmes map onto the IB continuum, the Learner Profile, ATL skills and CASEL competencies, so enrichment strengthens your curriculum rather than competing with it.
Four Ways to Run With Us
Same quality, wherever it sits in your calendar.
- ECA
Extra-Curricular Activities
After-school sessions run on your site and to your calendar — a weekly club with a clear curriculum and a real outcome at the end of term.
- CCA
Co-Curricular Activities
Delivered in your activity or enrichment periods, and linked to what students are already learning in class.
- Holiday
Holiday Programmes
Multi-day intensives in debate, public speaking and drama during school breaks, ending in a performance or competition.
- In-Grid
Timetabled In-Grid Classes
Delivered in-curriculum during the school day, designed to fit your existing scheme of work and period structure.

Other Programmes
Educator Training & Professional Development
The skills we teach should not leave when we do. We run practical CPD for teaching staff — built by a practising, Trinity-qualified educator, and designed for a real staff development day rather than a lecture theatre.
Our flagship session
Getting reluctant students to speak
Practical techniques for the students who never volunteer — the capable middle of the class. What to say instead of “speak up”, how to allocate speaking time structurally, how to scaffold from…
Format: Suitable for a staff development day. Offered free to schools considering us as a provider.
Other CPD we deliver
Teaching soft skills through drama
Our founder’s Trinity specialism, adapted for non-drama teachers
Running a school debate programme
Formats, adjudication and how to build a squad that lasts
Assessing speaking without a percentage
Descriptive rubrics teachers can actually use
Preparing a cohort for Trinity examinations
Criteria, pacing and mock structure
CASEL in a subject classroom
Embedding SEL without adding a lesson
Setting up a student podcast
Equipment, workflow, editorial standards and safeguarding
Sessions run from 45 minutes to a full day and can be tailored to a department or a whole staff.
Why this matters to a partnership
Continuity between visits
If your staff use the same vocabulary and the same techniques, students practise the skills on days we are not there.
Capacity you keep
CPD leaves capability behind in the school. A programme that depends entirely on an external provider is a fragile programme.
Included for partners
Optional CPD sessions are included in multi-programme and multi-year partnerships at no additional cost.
Partner With Us
A partnership with Erudite Academy is a long-term relationship, not a booking. Here is how it works, who it is for, and what you get.
The Process
Five steps from first conversation to first lesson.
- 01
Discovery Call
A 30-minute conversation. We ask about your year groups, your timetable, your existing provision and what you actually want to change.
Who We Partner With
We work with organisations that take the development of young people seriously.
Partnership Benefits
What your school gets that a one-off booking would not.
Start with one class. See what changes.
We understand this year’s activity roster may already be settled. We would be glad to be considered for Term 2 or the next academic year — and there are three easy ways to begin.
- Book a taster
01
A free taster session
Forty-five minutes with one class, at no cost. Your teachers can observe the delivery and judge it for themselves.
- Request CPD Session
02
A free session for your English department
Practical techniques for getting reluctant students to speak. Suitable for a staff development day.
- Start the paperwork
03
An approved-provider conversation
Or simply a place on your approved provider list, ready for future planning.
