Big Education is a Multi-Academy Trust and a charity that is working to transform the education system to ensure young people receive a balanced education of the head (academics), heart (character and wellbeing) and hand (problem solving, creativity, making a difference).
We run our own schools, develop leaders and teachers across the country through our programmes, and work in coalitions to bring about change.
We are excited to be exploring a potential merger, which would see Big Education join the Oasis family.
The Big Education Leadership Programme gives you the opportunity to connect with your authentic self and equip you with powerful strategies to bring about the changes you believe in.
School 21, a 4-18 school in Stratford, educates children from all backgrounds. Founded on the belief that education needs to change, it focuses on academic success (head), character development (heart), and practical skills (hand).
School 360 prioritises communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity in both curriculum and teaching methods. They value well-being, relationships, and project-based learning that tackles social justice issues.
Surrey Square fosters a dynamic environment where core values form the backbone of the school, shaping curriculum, teaching methods, and behaviour. This approach ensures all members of the school community thrive.
Rethinking Assessment is making the argument for change through case studies, analysis, evidence and thoughtful blogs and provide workable solutions, practical ideas and approaches to make assessment fairer, broader and more equitable.
Rethinking Leadership calls for a shift in leadership development, advocating for approaches that prioritize creating expansive educational opportunities for all young people.
Rethinking School is a two year whole school transformation project for schools who want to develop innovative education practices alongside like-minded schools, and to shout louder about the possibility of doing education differently.
Originally founded at Surrey Square Primary School (part of the Big Education Trust), a growing number of Family Zones are now working to redefine the relationship between schools, families, and the wider community.
The single biggest development this century, AI, is set to profoundly impact every classroom, student, and educator. How do we unlock its benefits safely and effectively? The Big AI Project is finding the answer. We’re co-creating the crucial tools – from guiding principles to practical training and student curriculum – empowering schools nationwide to confidently embrace the future of learning.
