Big Build & Character Development

Remember the hours of fun and enjoyment you had with Meccano and Lego? Your pupils are guaranteed to have endless fun whilst developing their personal and teamwork skills.

The ‘Big Build Project’ is a unique programme designed to challenge students to solve problems, work in teams and improve attitudes to learning. Working in small groups with tasks to complete, children are applying their science, technology, engineering and maths skills to complete their weekly mission.

Be more resilient

Improve leadership skills

Work better in a team

Feel more confident

Enhance well-being

Improve attitudes towards learning

Preparation for life's journey ahead

By completing challenging tasks, children will naturally be pushed out of their comfort zones. Our experienced team will ensure every pupil is supported through each task in a fun and motivating manner.

We will enable each learner to understand and deal with being part of successful and unsuccessful challenges. This will equip them with the capacity to cope with life in school, at home or even in their future career.

Our program is designed to enhance Personal Development Behaviour and Welfare. However, we organically embed the following topics throughout: Equality & Diversity, Personal Development Behaviour and Welfare, English & Maths, and Homework.

Learning their own way is sometimes better

We believe every learner has their own unique way of learning. That’s why all our STEM builds focus on allowing children in their small teams to shine in their own way, whilst designing and constructing their chosen build together.

We always encourage children to believe in their strengths. If they struggle with the mission set out, then our trained team will intervene and provide 1-1 coaching that will support them achieving their task.
