Looking back on another brilliant year of #schooltasking. It's been wonderful to see the impact this project has on the primary school pupils, teachers and university students involved 💌

Oh what fun we had at the #SchoolTasking West Regional Final at Kenilworth Castle! 🏰 Next stop for the winning team, Cov on Top, from Charter Academy (working with us at Warwick Law School) is the Champion of Champions in June with @alexhorne.bsky.social 🎉 🏆

I keep seeing all the wonderful posts from other School Tasking team members (well done Lloyd Gash, Diana Kirsch, John Lunney, and loads of the brilliant student team members across the competition 👏🏼) and it puts me to shame for being utterly useless at social media...

So, popping on to do a shout out for the Regional Final for the West Region, hosted at the most spectacular venue, Kenilworth Castle 🏰

Five superb Year 5 teams from University of Warwick, University of Derby, University of Wolverhampton, University of Birmingham and University of South Wales competed against each other in a bid to be crowned West Region Champions and it was Warwick Law that won the day with the team from Charter Academy - well done Cov on Top! We'll see you at the Champion of Champions in June! 🏆

Well done to all competing teams on the day - your enthusiasm was infectious and you all put in so much effort 👏🏼 Thanks to the teachers, students, and university staff (Nia Stead, Ruth Dawson, Jennifer Plumbley) who helped on the day and huge thanks to my amazing team, Jo Sinton-Hewitt and Phil Jemmett for being the best comrades and being able to nail a jump shot 📸

Huge thanks to English Heritage for always being so generous in their support of School Tasking and to the always brilliant, Stuart Hollis, for his beautiful photographs.

Not sure if it's a parenting win or fail that I've successfully got my boys into Flight of the Conchordes but hearing my youngest quoting 'Leggy Blond' at bedtime definitely brings joy 😅

Falling off your scooter as an adult is embarrassing and hurts a lot 🤕 But being able to justify eating a white chocolate creme egg because of the pain balances it all out. (Grown up equivalent of a wet paper towel)

Please do read and drop us a message if you're an organisation interested in finding out more. Link to the Fundraising Pack: taskmastereducation.com/sites/defaul... Link to the YouTube video: youtu.be/rDy0kNIXKOg?... Thank you! 🙏

As everyone in the sector knows, Higher Education is in trouble. Funding and time for projects like School Tasking is becoming increasingly scarce and we're being forced to make choices about what we can and cannot fund as the project continues to grow.

Dedicated staff and student teams at universities across the UK and Ireland are the reason that we are able to keep the joy alive, but we really do rely on the support of generous organisations in enabling us to continue reaching some of of the least-advantaged schools across both countries.

With thanks this year to our generous supporters (Addleshaw Goddard, IPO Education - Cracking Ideas, English Heritage and Warwick Law) and to Alex Horne and Avalon Entertainment for last year's raffle that enabled us to roll forward funds into this year. Alex also generously gives up his time each year to run our Champion of Champions Final, which isn't the easiest thing to do when you're the busiest man on the planet.

We're very much in need of additional support to keep the project afloat and would greatly appreciate any sponsor interest. We have a fundraising pack for any interested organisations and we're able to provide comprehensive data on how financial support directly benefits children in less-advantaged schools.

To find out more about School Tasking and how you can get involved, please see our Fundraising Pack here: https://lnkd.in/gWjhQcuQ

And you can see a glimpse of the joy of School Tasking here: https://lnkd.in/g8hA2N6J

Please do reach out to us on schooltasking@warwick.ac.uk if you'd like to find out more about how your organisation could be involved.

And please do share as widely as possible. We'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Before our #SchoolTasking students went into their schools we asked them to guess the most popular team name... and nobody got it right! Out of the 45 year 5 teams involved the most popular name was...chicken nuggets

Whilst we're on the subject of #Taskmaster, our 2024-25 impact report is now available: taskmastereducation.com/sites/defaul... We're so proud of the fact that last year we worked with schools in some of the least-advantaged areas across the UK & Ireland. And the kids really enjoyed the project 🤩

In 2024-25
28 Universities
In 6 regions across the UK and Ireland
and approximately 1,900 children from 51 schools took part.
The primary schools taking part meet the criteria for widening participation, with
higher than average numbers of pupils receiving free school meals and/or a lower
than average attainment level (pupils meeting expected standard in reading, writing,
and maths)
For the cohort in this study, the average number of pupils receiving free school meals
is 39.9% (England only; nationally this is 25.9%)
The average attainment level of the schools in our cohort is 56.4% (England only;
nationally this is 61%)

Last summer I posted some holiday #Taskmaster tasks for kids over on the other site and I thought it was worth sharing again here 😊 They're all designed that they should be low effort for you (well mostly!) but will hopefully keep the kids busy so you can grab a well deserved cup of tea ☕ 💌
