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.

Maths can also help students understand the world more, for example when they’re thinking about finances; budgets and taxes. Even for life at home, it helps develop problem-solving skills and increase creativity.
As of March 2022, women made up 16.5% of all engineers in the UK, compared to the 10.5% reported in 20101. While we may be tempted to say the jump from 1 in 10 engineers being women to 1 in 7 shows progress, these figures still reflect the fact that the number of female engineering students persistently sits below 20% in higher education (HE). Much has been written about the myriad ways in which people have tried to address this issue and yet stubbornly these statistics – and their impact upon minority groups – prevails.
