'Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting
of a fire' - W.B. Yeats
At NCB, we understand just how powerful a force education can be
in transforming the lives of children and young people. But we know
that not every child has the same chance in life to learn, to
flourish, to feel happy and fulfilled.
Our work on well-being in education has been game-changing. The
range of expert projects we run and specialist partnerships we host
show how vital well-being is as the foundation
of good learning and achievement for every child.
We understand how the new landscape of school diversity, of
collaboration, of autonomy can contribute to improved outcomes for
children and we work to build the knowledge, capacity and practice
of those who work with children and families in schools and
beyond.
Whatever the level of change in the system the voices, needs and
flourishing of children and young people remain at the heart of our
approach to improving education policy and practice.
We are the only children's organisation that can support your
whole-school journey to raising achievement through improving
well-being outcomes.
