Due to investment in Gen+ we've been able to drop prices for schools right across the country.

What does that mean?🤔

If you're a Primary School, you can access for just £100; and Secondary Schools can deliver four programmes for £500.

Just part of what we're doing to make #metaskills accessible 🤝

We recently hosted a CLPL session with @fifecouncil.bsky.social Probationer teachers to share the Gen+ programme.

Here's some of the feedback we had on our session, it's always great to meet teachers passionate about #MetaSkills 💫

During PPI time today the sewing area was the place to be 🧵💥 Primary 2 & 3 started out using templates of animals… and quickly turned into full-on designers, creating their own unique masterpieces! #MetaSkills in action #Creativity #Collaboration #focusing ✨🧠

Some of my little learners stayed focused for ages playing Uno Jr today. They’ve been learning to value fairness, following rules, and turn taking— and they can now manage it all independently. #MetaSkills #RME #EduSkyPrimary

Christmas films, but make it educational 🫡

We use #MetaSkills all the time, and so does The Grinch! We had great fun spotting skills in these classic Christmas films, but what have we missed?

Share your fave festive flicks that show Meta-Skills with us! 👀🎄

It's almost 2026, and with that comes plenty of good intentions & #NewYearsResolutions.

Primary 2 set out to build a tower taller than Mrs Stewart — and they smashed it! 🏗️ So much amazing maths: measuring, estimating, comparing heights, talking fractions (“It’s only half of Mrs Stewart — we need to double it!”) & exploring scale. #MathsTalk #STEM #LearningThroughPlay #MetaSkills

Here’s H working on her formation of ‘m’. She showed resilience, effort and focus. This was her first time forming the letter on an iPad. How great is this? #metaskills @stjosephsps.bsky.social #thestjoesstory
