The UK’s leading website for educational innovation and inspiration.

Innovate My School is run by a diverse group of educationalists with one sole aim: to increase the awareness of innovative products and services available to improve schools. Learn more…

Innovate My School is a free independent educational research and review website run by a large and diverse group of educationalists. The site has culminated from the need to increase the awareness of innovative products and services available to schools whilst allowing them to write honest reviews for other schools to benefit.

By joining forces with suppliers and sharing their expertise, our education community will have access to a comprehensive list of ways to increase pupil participation, enrich their curriculum, improve exam results and Ofsted reports, strengthen community cohesion and much more.

Innovate My School will eventually be supported by an advertising business model to fund the administration of the site, meaning it will stay free to everyone involved.

A History of the World is a partnership between the BBC and the British Museum that focuses on world history, involving collaborations between teams across the BBC, and schools, museums and audiences across the UK. The project focuses on the things we have made, from flint to mobile phone.
