Supporting schools, inspiring learners and turning understanding into action.
At RECAP, we recognise the important role that schools and educational professionals play in shaping children’s learning, development and wellbeing.
We also understand that education is complex. Every learner is different, every school community is unique, and professionals are continually balancing individual needs, curriculum expectations and wider educational responsibilities.
Our work with schools brings together academic research, educational expertise, lived experience and practical approaches to support pupils, staff and school communities.
From interactive pupil workshops that encourage curiosity, confidence and problem-solving to professional training that challenges assumptions and supports inclusive practice, our services are designed to make learning meaningful and relevant.
We believe that effective education is not simply about what children learn, but also about how they experience learning, how they are supported and whether they feel understood and valued.
How can RECAP support your school?
Student Workshops
Engaging young minds through curiosity, creativity and practical learning.
Our student workshops encourage children to explore ideas, ask questions, recognise their strengths and develop valuable skills through interactive learning experiences.
Designed to complement the curriculum, these sessions provide opportunities for pupils to learn through investigation, discussion, teamwork and practical challenges.
Be Your Own Hero
Building resilience, confidence and wellbeing skills.
What makes someone a hero?

Through creative activities, teamwork and practical problem-solving, children learn about resilience, empathy and the importance of recognising their own abilities.

Research Detectives
Discovering how researchers ask questions and find answers.
Every great discovery begins with a question!
Research Detectives introduces children to the exciting world of research through hands-on investigations and scientific challenges.
Pupils become researchers, learning how to make predictions, test ideas, collect evidence and draw conclusions while developing curiosity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Suitable for: EYFS to Key Stage 2
Format: Half-day or full-day workshops
Staff Workshops
Moving beyond awareness towards meaningful, inclusive practice.
Our professional workshops support educational leaders and staff to reflect on existing practices, deepen their understanding of neurodiversity and explore realistic approaches to creating more inclusive environments.
Grounded in research, lived experience and practical strategies, these sessions are designed to encourage critical reflection and support meaningful change.
Supporting Neurodivergent Students
Understanding neurodiversity is an important starting point, but meaningful inclusion requires us to consider how educational environments, policies and everyday practices influence learners’ experiences.
This workshop supports educational leaders and professionals to explore the barriers neurodivergent learners may encounter and identify practical approaches to improving participation, wellbeing and learning.
Participants consider how school systems, communication, behaviour expectations, teaching practices and leadership decisions can shape inclusion.
Designed for: Headteachers, senior leadership teams, SENCOs, inclusion leads and educational leaders.
Supporting Neurodivergent Employees
Schools are not only places of learning; they are also workplaces.
This workshop explores how educational organisations can create more inclusive working environments for neurodivergent employees.
From communication and workplace expectations to recruitment, leadership and organisational culture, participants explore the barriers neurodivergent staff may experience and consider practical strategies for meaningful workplace inclusion.
Designed for: School leaders, senior leadership teams, HR professionals and those responsible for staff wellbeing and inclusion.
Regulated First Aid Training
