About Us
Working for Accessible Education.
Who
Children with moderate to severe additional needs are often stuck between mainstream curriculums that move too fast and sensory curriculums that don't stretch them. Whether in school or at home, we aim to support these children with their learning.
What
Our mission is to ensure every child can access education that works for them. We will achieve this through providing knowledge and advice, facilitating learning through shared experience and enabling community support.
Why
We believe that every child deserves access to education, and that this should be inclusive of their disabilities. We work in partnership with schools, parents and carers, and communities to promote long-term inclusion in education.
The Accessible Curriculum
Providing access to education is more than telling people to give every child a seat at the table. It's about ensuring that every child understands what is happening at the table to the best of their ability.
The Accessible Curriculum is a clearly structured approach to teaching topics across maths, science and humanities. Each module is planned to reduce the pressure on educators and contains exciting lessons, interactive sensory experiments and more!

Educational Attractions
Access to education isn't limited to the classroom, there are lots of exciting places that children and young people can visit to learn more about the world we live in.
Our first stop is London Zoo, a popular location for anyone learning about animals, the life cycle or conservation.

Drawing the Animals
Follow usWhat better way to spend time at the zoo than drawing the animals. London Zoo does amazing conservation work both on and off site. We are highlighting our aim to increase the accessibility of learning about the conservation and animals through our videos.

Communication Resources
Buy nowWe don't just want to identify the problem, but be part of the solution. With the animals we have drawn we can create communication resources to use at any zoo. These can support people to choose where they want to go and learn more about the animals they can see without relying on verbal speech.

Informative Posters
I want one!Many animals are already used to represent elements of the disability community, they can also be a great way to explain disabilities. Use these posters to learn little and often! Put them up in the staff room, on the back of toilet doors or use as lesson inspiration!
