BecomingX Education is a digital platform that helps schools deliver meaningful personal development for students aged 8–18.
With ready-to-use lessons, films featuring people who have achieved extraordinary things and practical tools, it helps young people build the confidence, skills and self-awareness to thrive - in school, in life and in the future.
Designed to fit around school life, BecomingX gives educators flexible, high-quality resources that make personal development easier to deliver and more meaningful for students.
Ready-to-deliver learning
Lessons, assemblies, discussions and activities that help educators deliver high-quality learning without creating everything from scratch.
Learn from extraordinary lives
Films and real stories from people who have achieved extraordinary things, helping students see what confidence, resilience, curiosity and determination look like in practice.
Practical support for schools
Flexible resources and tools that support PSHE, tutor time, enrichment and wider personal-development priorities.
“Children don't learn things like problem solving and creativity by accident. BecomingX Education helps teachers to build the skills and confidence that our students so desperately need to succeed.”
BecomingX Education gives educators a flexible library of more than 200 evidence-informed lessons, assemblies and discussions for students aged 8–18 — all available at the point of need.
Use resources as part of a planned programme or select what is most relevant for your students, your school and the moment. There is no prescribed sequence, so the platform can flex around PSHE, tutor time, enrichment and wider personal-development priorities.
Built on the science of success, the library combines evidence-informed learning with films and clips featuring people who have achieved extraordinary things across sport, business, science, the arts and public life.
Presented by Bear Grylls, and with activities developed alongside leading companies and organisations, the content helps students connect big ideas to the real world — and see how they can apply them in their own lives.
Clear guidance, lesson plans and supporting materials give educators everything they need to deliver high-quality personal development without creating resources from scratch.
Stories have the power to change how we see the world — and how we see ourselves.
BecomingX Cinema takes students beyond the classroom through a remarkable collection of films featuring some of the world’s most inspiring people. From Olympians, presidents and Nobel Prize winners to entrepreneurs, scientists, artists, adventurers, humanitarians and leaders from across public life, these are people who have achieved extraordinary things in very different ways.
Cinema also makes room for the stories that are harder to tell - from people who have faced homelessness, imprisonment, disability and extraordinary adversity. Their films reveal not only what they have overcome, but the choices, relationships and determination that helped shape their lives.
Teachers can use the short standalone films to introduce a theme, prompt discussion, support an assembly or give students a powerful starting point for reflection. Their flexible format makes it easy to bring an extraordinary story into the school day when it is most relevant - helping students discover new perspectives and see what may be possible for their own futures.
“BecomingX Education is the best platform that I've ever seen. We have used it across multiple subjects to equip the students with the skills and attitudes to succeed in life. It has made my classroom more exciting and inspiring forever!”
BecomingX Education gives schools the guidance and resources to introduce, deliver and embed the platform with confidence.
From practical advice on teaching lessons and using the library, to a ready-to-adapt policy document and draft communications for staff and parents, the platform helps make implementation straightforward.
Educators can also access expert insights from leading UK teachers, academics and practitioners, alongside carefully selected links to key research and guidance on personal development. Downloadable, customisable certificates make it easy to recognise and celebrate students’ progress.
Together, these tools help schools introduce BecomingX Education effectively, support staff to use it confidently and embed it into everyday school life.
BecomingX Education surveys help secondary schools understand students’ experiences, priorities and aspirations.
Easy to administer and simple to review, they give schools a clearer picture of what students think - helping educators use student insight to shape stronger provision.
Detailed reports help schools identify priorities, plan targeted activity and track changes in student views over time.
Available for secondary schools only.
BecomingX Education includes a curated collection of virtual experiences that can take students from the galleries of the Louvre to the surface of Mars, opening up new places, ideas and perspectives without leaving the classroom.
But some experiences are made to be lived. For schools ready to take learning beyond the screen, BecomingX Expeditions give students the chance to step into extraordinary environments, take on meaningful challenge and discover what they are capable of together.
“Harton Academy has used BecomingX as the backbone of our personal development programmes, including an expedition to Kenya - students and staff have been truly inspired. We're now proudly 'Outstanding' for personal development.”
BecomingX Home Edition gives parents, carers and home educators ready-to-use lessons, films, discussions and activities to lead meaningful personal-development learning at home.
