About Us
The UK’s Leading Provider of Interactive School Workshops
Welcome to Education Group. For over two decades, we have been the market leader in bringing the curriculum to life. We specialize in delivering high-impact, in-school workshops that inspire creativity, boost engagement and make learning unforgettable for children across the UK.
We don't just teach; we immerse. By bringing expert facilitators and cutting-edge technology directly to your school hall, we provide the excitement of a school trip without the logistical costs or travel headaches.
We work with approximately 3,000 schools a year. Our facilitators work with a class at a time, up to eight in a day. Often the day culminates in a performance. The workshops can form part of special celebrations, such as Black History Month, Diwali and Christmas or as part of a school fundraising event. We provide equipment and materials for every child to take part.

Our mission is to ignite a passion for learning in every child. We support teachers by providing curriculum-aligned workshops that reinforce classroom topics through practical application.

“We had a fantastic experience with Education Group who delivered a wonderful maypole dancing workshop for our Reception children. The session was engaging, fun, and perfectly pitched for their age group. Communication both before and during the workshop was excellent — everything was well-organised and stress-free. The children had an amazing time and are still talking about it! Highly recommended!”

“We had a brilliant experience of Education Group VR animal workshop. All of year 4 thoroughly enjoyed the experience and to take part in a unique activity. They learnt facts about different animals and were immersed into their habitats. Brilliant session and could not recommend these any more.”
