Pearson School Report 2025
Learning for life
Shining a light on learning today in schools, colleges and home education – painting Pearson’s biggest picture of trends and viewpoints in education to date.
Sharing more voices than ever before...
This year’s School Report brings together insights from over 14,000 educators, parents, and students across the UK - our largest response yet. By amplifying these perspectives, we uncover what matters most in classrooms today: from the challenges of workload and wellbeing, to the opportunities offered by technology and future-focused learning. Every voice helps shape a clearer picture of how we can work together to create an education system that supports every learner to thrive.
Why we learn
We ask why learning matters, where students and those teaching them want it to lead, and how it’s something that never stops.
The learning landscape
Our biggest picture of trends across education to date – including what’s impacting learning, whether students are ready for their next steps, and how we as a sector are rising to the challenges.
Where we go next
We put the spotlight on what members of the education community believe can help build learning for the future.
What is the Pearson School Report?
The Pearson School Report brings together voices from across the education landscape. Students, teachers, school leaders, and more shine a light on what matters most in our schools today.
Since 2022, these insights have sparked conversations everywhere from playgrounds to the Houses of Parliament. These offer a powerful snapshot of the real experiences, challenges and hopes shaping the future of education and learning in the UK.
