about schoolzone

Schoolzone is member of BESA

The web site www.schoolzone.co.uk is run and owned by Schoolzone.co.uk Ltd.

Schoolzone was set up by a group of enthusiastic teachers and parents in Oxford in 1997.  We could see the need for safe, differentiated Internet material which teachers, students and parents can access easily.  So we devised Schoolzone and, with the help of over 400 UK teachers created the site as you now see it. 

We do not sell anything to schools, are not owned or affiliated to any publishers or other companies where there might be a conflict of interest and we keep a rigorously independent approach to all that we do.

We mail (courtesy of JEM) to all schools in the UK every month, highlighting the most useful resources we have found for particular subjects or themes.  This Schoolzone newsletter also offers a help-line service to teachers wanting to find out more about the Internet in general or Schoolzone in particular. Many teachers have told us that they have been motivated to look at the Internet for the first time as a result of reading the newsletter.

What do we do?

We have the largest teacher research community in the UK and are experienced at carrying out market research, content development, evaluation and consultancy. We have worked with well over 2000 clients, including The DCSF, BBC and RM, on tasks such as these and we cover the spectrum of educational resources and issues, ranging from books, software, training and hardware to sharing good practice and advice. We are very much a teacher-based service and have considerable potential for working with schools on behalf of suppliers to help improve the quality and uptake of products.
