At Pearson, we are always trying to gain feedback from teaching experts across the nation in order to drive further improvements and developments. It's now more important than ever, that we aim to fully understand and support both teachers and learners by providing solutions and delivering what is really needed.
Hear from a couple of schools as they share their personal journeys and useful insight into how the Entry Level Certificates can provide a stepping stone to GCSE success.
All of our products and services are developed along with our educational experts, and have the rigour and attention to detail that we know customers expect of us.
We also recognise that these products need to work in the real world - our customers are using our products each and every day to support their own best practice.
Schools from all over the UK tell us about their experience of teaching with Pearson, from the ways in which Exploring Science is helping some schools to provide a broad and balanced science curriculum from KS3 to GCSE, to the way Science Bug is helping to spark imagination, fuel curiosity and nurture inspired and confident young scientists at Primary level.
As part of our commitment to providing you with the best switch experience, we asked centres who have recently switched to us for GCSE to describe their reasons for switching, the barriers they faced, and the level of support they received.
Many of the skills inherent to reading are developed through spoken language long before children learn to associate sound with print. Attending to children’s early spoken language development is a stepping stone towards building reading proficiency later on.
The importance of fostering an inclusive learning environment is widely recognised. When students see themselves reflected in the curriculum they learn, the classrooms they learn in, and the school community they are part of; they feel empowered, engaged and able to thrive.

The answer builds on ongoing research, pilot schemes and conversations we’ve undertaken to better understand how onscreen assessments might work, why and in what way they’re useful for students (and schools and colleges) and importantly, why and when we should implement them.
