Critical Thinking Through Heritage & Skills Training
Beyond Tutoring: A Complete Approach to Academic Excellence
More Curricular goes beyond traditional tutoring to develop the skills students need for lifelong success.
Based in London, we combine essential skills training, critical thinking through heritage education and professional development for teachers—creating a complete ecosystem of educational excellence for students, families and schools across the capital.
Essential Skills Development
Master the foundational skills that unlock academic success. Our courses don't just help students catch up— they build confidence, independence and lifelong learning strategies that work across every subject.
✍️ Handwriting
Clear, fluent handwriting that keeps pace with thinking. We improve letter formation, speed and presentation so writing becomes automatic, not a barrier to learning. Our evidence-based approach helps children at risk for DCD (dyspraxia) and supports students transitioning to secondary school.
📝 Writing
Develop structured, coherent writing across all subjects. From sentence construction to essay planning, students learn to express ideas with clarity and confidence. We follow the UK government's writing framework to ensure pupils master this vital skill.
📚 Academic Prose
Master the specialised techniques of academic writing. Students learn to construct arguments, cite evidence and write with the precision expected at GCSE, A-Level and beyond.
🎯 Study Skills
Build effective strategies for revision, organisation, note-taking and exam technique. Learn how to learn—not just what to learn. Our workshops teach proven methods backed by neuroscience and memory research.
Walking Tours - Learning Beyond the Classroom
History isn't just dates and dead monarchs. Our London heritage walks transform the capital's streets into a living classroom where students develop critical thinking by questioning narratives, analysing evidence and hearing voices often left out of textbooks.
For Schools & Families:
Book educational heritage walks designed to develop analytical thinking and historical understanding. Curriculum-linked, engaging and transformative—perfect for Tudor history studies, Black History Month or enriching your school's diversity curriculum.
For Tourists & General Public:
Visit our specialised heritage walk websites:
→ Hidden Tudors Tours - Uncover Tudor London's marginalised voices
→ Notting Hill Walks - Explore Caribbean heritage and Carnival history
What Makes Our Educational Walks Different:
🚶 Interactive Learning
Students don't just listen—they engage directly with historical sites in locations like Notting Hill, the City of London and beyond. They examine evidence and construct their own understanding through guided exploration.
💬 Vocabulary Enhancement
Build subject-specific historical terminology naturally through exploration and context, not memorisation. Students learn Tudor-era language or Caribbean heritage terms in meaningful settings.
🧠 Critical Thinking Development
Question competing narratives. Analyse whose voices are heard and whose are silenced. Develop the analytical skills that transfer across all subjects—from history to science to English literature.
👥 Tailored Educational Experiences
Whether you're a London primary school group, secondary students studying specific historical periods or families wanting meaningful educational experiences during school holidays—we design walks that match your learning goals.
Teacher CPD & School Services
Transform teaching practice with professional development that actually works. Our UK-based Teacher CPD, available online and in-person, combines rigorous educational research with practical classroom strategies—reducing workload whilst improving outcomes for teachers across primary and secondary schools and further and higher education..
🎓Transformative Workshops
Research-backed CPD that changes how teachers approach their practice. Not just theory—actionable strategies you will use Monday morning. Our workshops address the new curriculum review, assessment changes, evidence-based teaching methods and study skills development.
🏛️ Curriculum Enrichment for Schools
Integrate Black History walks and heritage education into your curriculum. Meet government diversity requirements whilst delivering genuinely engaging learning experiences. Perfect for any school looking to enrich their curriculum with authentic, community-centred heritage education.
📈 Teacher CPD Programme
Our Productive Teacher CPD programme helps educators work smarter, not harder. Reduce planning time, improve lesson effectiveness and reclaim your work-life balance through evidence-based pedagogical approaches including study skills instruction.
🤖 AI Masterclasses for Educators
Learn to use AI tools efficiently and ethically in education. From lesson planning to providing feedback, discover how AI can enhance your teaching without replacing your professional judgement. Stay ahead of educational technology developments.
🎯 Study Skills Training for Schools
Equip your staff to teach effective study skills across the curriculum. Our training helps teachers embed revision strategies, organisation techniques and exam preparation into their everyday teaching—giving students transferable skills that work in every subject.
⚙️ Customised School Plans
Every school has unique needs. We design tailored professional development packages that address your specific challenges and goals—whether you are implementing curriculum changes, improving literacy outcomes, enriching your history teaching or developing whole-school study skills programmes.
Why Choose More Curricular?
📚 Complete, Not Piecemeal
We do not just tutor one subject or run one-off workshops. We develop the full range of skills students need—from handwriting fundamentals to critical historical analysis to effective study strategies.
🔄 Skills That Transfer
Critical thinking learned analysing Tudor sources applies to science, literature and current events. Study strategies work across all subjects from primary through secondary school. Handwriting fluency removes barriers to learning everywhere. We teach skills, not just content.
🔬 Evidence-Based Practice
Every programme is grounded in educational research and refined through years of classroom experience. From neuroscience research on memory and learning to government frameworks on writing development—we know what works because we have tested it.
🤝 Dignity-Centred Education
Our heritage walks do not extract stories for entertainment—we centre community voices, work with descendants like the families of the Mangrove Nine and treat history with the respect it deserves. This is education, not tourism.
✅ Proven Results Across London and Internationally
From individual students mastering handwriting to schools transforming their curriculum—our approach delivers measurable improvement in confidence, capability and academic outcomes. We have partnered with London councils including the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hackney and Wandsworth, and worked with American universities including Howard University, Lawrence University and North Carolina State University.
