There is no better way to understand what Chatta does than to see it working with real children and young people in the classroom.
Chatta Hub Schools open their doors to teachers and leaders from other schools, offering a chance to witness the impact first-hand, ask questions, and begin to imagine what Chatta could unlock for their own pupils.
Sessions include classroom demonstrations and an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about Chatta. You will also hear from the teachers who have made Chatta central to their practice, and leave with a clear picture of what Chatta could change for your school.
Seeing Chatta first-hand is frequently described as transformational. Come and see why.
"The idea that the same approach can be used to support such high quality learning from Nursery to Secondary is almost unheard of but possible, due to the limitless possibilities of Chatta. The positive impact on our children’s participation, confidence and communication skills has been immediate and profound."
Jo Clegg, Assistant Headteacher, St Anne's Catholic Primary School, Liverpool
Southmoor Academy (Secondary), Sunderland
