We are an education company founded by James Nottingham, creator of the Learning Pit®
PURPOSE: We help you strengthen your learning culture by deepening the impact of feedback and questioning; creating a more authentic role for dialogue, metacognition and student voice; improving attitudes towards challenge; and building a sense of efficacy and mindset.
RANGE: We offer keynotes, conferences, on-site consultancy, study tours, books, lesson ideas, videos and online support.
GLOBAL TEAM: We have 30 staff across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. Our consultants work with us full-time, guaranteeing a consistency of message, values, and pedagogy.
IMPACT: Our Challenging Learning Process leads to long-lasting, sustainable change. This 2-3-year process begins where you are and guides you to where you want to be. We help you set your vision; coach your staff; build leadership capacity; and enhance professional dialogue. We run demonstration lessons; lead PD for all staff; and provide you with in-depth progress reports to inform and reassure all stakeholders.
TAILOR-MADE: We don’t have any pre-determined programs or scripts. We start with your context then design and deliver to help you achieve your aims.

We Help You Make the Changes You Want
We don’t have any pre-determined programs or scripts. Instead, we begin by understanding your context and strengths, and then help you to fine-tune what you already do.
The gains achieved by the 450+ schools and pre-schools in 11 countries that have so far used our processes to strengthen learning include:
- Increased staff engagement and satisfaction;
- Improved student motivation, resilience and curiosity;
- The development of a shared language for learning within and between different organisations;
- Better use of feedback, questioning and dialogue to enhance student learning;
- A healthier attitude towards challenge, progress and achievement.
