The story of us ...

Meet your team Let's talk

We deliver impactful school workshops for students, teachers and parents 

Our school workshops and courses support pupils to become more resilient, confident and creative thereby unlocking their potential and allowing them to be the people they want to be. Our practical techniques increase information retention and improve exam performance, helping pupils to gain the tools they need to become effective lifelong learners.

We started small, with one presenter, but we have continued to grow in size – and impact. Our experienced team has delivered comprehensive programmes to over 2.5 million students and over 80,000 teachers have benefited from our continuous professional development programme. Our techniques work and schools come back year after year to continue to embed our transformative programmes.

 

Our philosophy

No two schools are the same and every pupil is unique. That’s why we design our programmes around you. We’ll understand your needs, agree on the outcomes and aims of your programme, and then deliver workshops through our inspiring and knowledgeable team.

We can provide ongoing programmes based on the needs of your pupils or staff, centred around our year-group-specific modules.

School workshops with purpose

Our school workshops are researched, written and created by former teachers, memory experts and acclaimed motivational speakers. Each session is full of rich content, usable ideas and an array of practical, sustainable resources which continue to make an impact long after the workshops are over.

High-energy, engaging delivery

The programme content is just one part of the picture. Our presenters have a wealth of expertise and skill in engaging, informing and delighting audiences. This high-energy and dynamic delivery provides a multisensory and interactive experience that creates lasting memories.

Delivering holistic transformation

Our framework supports the whole learning community and your students, teachers and parents too. This means we can deliver measurable results, leaving learners empowered and inspired to reach their full potential while giving parents the tools to support their child’s education.

Our Positively You family

We create positive and long-lasting impacts, and we love making a difference in the lives of the pupils we meet. Our drive to do what we do comes from our Positively You family.

Positively You is owned by the husband-and-wife team, Ben and Jess. With two young children at school, they have first-hand experience of the importance of a creative approach to learning.

Jess is our Events Manager and has over 13 years’ experience as a primary school teacher, from Early Years Foundation Stage to Key Stage Two. Jess held special educational needs coordinator and maths lead positions before joining the Positively You team. She understands the demands of working and leading in a school environment and helps identify the workshops that will most benefit your students.

Ben has been with the Positively You team since 2007, stepping up to become Managing Director in 2013. For over a decade, he has been focused on growing the Positively You business, increasing the programmes available, expanding into delivering wellbeing sessions and engaging with government initiatives to help headteachers deliver on their objectives.

But Jess and Ben are just the start – you can meet the whole Positively You team here.
