Engaging your staffroom and classroom
Loved by over 2000 schools and school leaders
An incredibly simple, versatile and cost-effective way to develop confident, communicative and highly engaged children and adults. Over the last 10 years Packtypes has been used by over 2000 schools to transform their learning, teaching and leading.
Learning
Perfect for inspiring and developing confident, curious children in our increasingly virtual and isolated world.
Works from Year 4 to 13, giving:
-
Younger children a springboard into a positive and productive secondary school experience.
-
Struggling children an invaluable motivation and self-esteem lifeline.
-
All children great communication, relationship and team skills.
-
Older children a leg up with UCAS and career decisions.
Teaching
Helps teachers build strong relationships with every child they teach, their teaching assistants, colleagues, parents and school leaders.
Practical, quick and easy to fit seamlessly into already crowded school days. Reduces distracting conflict and tensions. A classroom must have.
Leading
Mastering diverse and challenging school relationships is one of the greatest challenges any school leader faces. What is the best way to achieve this?
One relationship at a time, which is how Packtypes helps.
Whether it is communicating with everyone, recruiting the right staff, improving teamwork, motivational staff feedback and effective staff development, supporting children, working with colleagues and governors, or sitting down with parents, Packtypes turns your relationship skills into your school leader superpower.
How to get started
Schools have been using Packtypes for over 15 years, so there are a lot of experienced Packtypes out there. But we are constantly updating our suggested best practice so what is the best way to get started if you are new to the Packtypes game?
Start with your leadership team:
Start by equipping and engaging your SLT. Our Packtypes Staff Development Bag is perfect for this, including all the instructions and materials you need to get you started.
Equip your best staff first:
Packtypes is a social literacy tool so give your best staff their own Packtypes Professional Pack so they can play and practice for themselves. This is the how people learn and grow.
Become social literacy role models:
Encourage other staff members to observe you playing Packtypes. Let them see for themselves how playing Packtypes overcomes even the most challenging people situations.
Don’t forget the children:
Packtypes is brilliant with adults, but it’s children who benefit the most. Start introducing it to pupils in tutorials, PSHE, career and UCAS sessions, select subjects and one to one coaching.
Keep it fun:
One of the reasons Packtypes works so well is that it is fun, so introduce it in an informal fun way. Gradually get as many people playing as possible. Introduce it to your pupils’ parents and families as you go.
Read up:
Will Murray’s new book ‘I Kissed a Frog, and I Liked It’ lifts the lid on the power of social literacy to change lives. It’s short, full of light bulb moments and inspiring. Read it to energise yourself and your team.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help: We are here and keen to help. We offer great Inset and Leadership Days and online help is always available on the best ways to implement Packtypes in any given situation.
