The A to Z of Positively You

It can sometimes be difficult to summarise what a company is all about. That’s why we’ve put together this little A to Z guide of what Positively You is – what’s important to us, what we believe in and what we, as a business, stand for.

 

A is for Adapt

Our expert team of presenters are able to adapt to each year group they present to, relating to the whole cohort and keeping students of all ages engaged.

B is for BIC

We’ve partnered with one of the world’s most recognisable brands to provide free stationery for all of our attainment raising workshops.

C is for COVID-19

Several of our workshops were designed as a direct response to the disruption caused by the pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns.

D is for Development

We are constantly tweaking our service to ensure that the workshops we deliver to schools are of the very highest of standards.

E is for Exam Busters

Exam Busters is our most popular workshop and is our flagship exam preparation solution.

F is for Feedback

We’ve been fortunate enough to receive thousands of positive reviews from the schools we’ve worked with.

G is for Gatsby Benchmarks

Ensuring that education leads to gainful employment is important. As such, our workshops are aligned with several of the Gatsby Benchmarks.

H is for Holistic

The approach we take is to get students, teachers and parents all on the same page, which increases the effectiveness of the techniques we teach.

I is for the Isle of Wight

We have a team of presenters based all over the country, but our HQ is based on the (sometimes) sunny Isle of Wight.

J is for Jay

Our Head Trainer and Lead Presenter, Jay is responsible for training all of our new presenters and getting them up to speed with our workshops.

K is for Kim

Kim is our Head of Research and Development and is in charge of developing the workshops and techniques that get taught to hundreds of thousands of students each year.

L is for Learning

It’s not just the students that learn during our workshops. With each delivery, our presenters learn how to better relate to young people and how to get the message of the workshops across more effectively

M is for Millions

To date, we’ve helped over 2.5 million students feel more confident and better prepared about their academic journey and their exams.

N is for New

We are constantly looking at designing new workshops that address issues students are facing. Our two newest workshops are Future You and Goal Setting.

O is for Ofsted

Knowing that schools are required to adhere to Ofsted guidelines, our workshops are designed from the ground-up to align with the Ofsted Three I’s: Intent, Implementation and Impact.

P is for Parents

Our Parent Twilight sessions can really help turn a Positively You workshop into a really effective holistic learning experience.

Q is for Quality

The quality of the resources we provide to schools is something we’re really proud of and have invested heavily in. Speaking of which…

R is for Resources

From our professionally designed ‘You Pads,’ to our brand new Online Hub, we’ve worked hard to offer industry-leading resources for school and students.

S is for Summer School

Our Summer School workshops are a great way to keep students engaged during the holidays and can help prepare them for the realities of moving to a new year group.

T is for Teachers

The teacher training sessions we run are a great way to ensure teachers and students are on the same page.

U is for Uni Connect

We’re incredibly proud to work with this amazing programme that provides a path to higher education for underrepresented students.

V is for Variety

The workshops we’ve developed address a wide range of issues. From stress management and mental health to revision techniques and interview skills.

W is for Wales

We’re pleased to say that several of our more popular workshops are able to be delivered in Welsh.

X is for Xylophone

One member of our team is surprisingly good at playing this instrument!

Y is for Years

As in years of experience. We’ve been providing educational workshops for a tad over 20 years now. Wow!

Z is for Zoom

If we are unable to visit your school in person, we’re more than happy to host a virtual workshop via Zoom (or Google Meet or Microsoft Teams).
