About Learning Beyond

Who are we?


We have been involved in building learning strategies to widen participation in disadvantaged communities for the last fifteen years.  As a founder member of FamilyLearningUK, we believe Family Learning and Study Support to be essential elements of effective learning strategies for the whole community.

We are proud to have been part of the writing team for a number of specialist family learning publications and programmes, and are keen to continue to develop new approaches to learning.

We have been responsible for accessing in excess of £1,500,000 for schools and community organisations within the West Midlands.


As qualified teachers we have over thirty years experience in both primary and secondary phase education. 

We have worked with Education Extra, CEDC, the West Midlands Extended Learning Partnership and ContinYou - a national education and community charitable organisation.

We have written several bespoke learning programmes in conjunction with the Walsall Family Learning and Study Support team, television writer Vo Fletcher and rock legend Noddy Holder.  These focus on an holistic, family centred approach to extending learning – both at home and in school settings.

We have established innovative learning opportunities as well as delivering Family Learning, Study Support and Extended Learning training programmes in other countries including Greece, Russia and Zimbabwe; as well as nearer home in the West Midlands.

Why Learning Beyond?

We have an established commitment to Lifelong Learning, in particular, innovative learning opportunities outside the school day.  We have made a decision to build upon a proven track record in Family Learning by expanding and developing the breadth of our work in a specialist area we are passionate about. 

We are qualified full NLP practitioners and accredited Family Learning Trainers.  We have also substantiated our commitment to lifelong learning by completing and achieving Prince2 Practitioner status.

What do we do?

  • We encourage opportunities for extended learning – Study Support and Family Learning - in all schools and other centres for learning in the community
  • We seek to actively help those schools and organisations that have significant numbers of the most socially and academically deprived children, young people and adults
  • We work in partnership with a variety of agencies to develop strategies and programmes which equitably target disadvantage
  • We wish to extend this strategy to all schools and other centres for learning, through offering our services as a delivery vehicle for activities and a reference point for advice, guidance, information and support
  • We provide bespoke workshops and presentations for conferences and seminars, as well as for individual schools, local authorities and other organisations.  Topics include Effective fundraising, Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming Techniques and Extended Learning through Study Support and Family Learning
  • We also provide a direct route for accessing external funds through individual bespoke applications written by the team.  In fact, our team have successfully raised over £1 million pounds for education and community organizations since 2000!

Learning Beyond and proud of it!

We have established ourselves as a direct result of the demand for high quality services by schools, private industry and the voluntary sector and the continuing need to learn beyond limitations! Email us here.
