How one experience shaped our future

In 2005, Glyn entered a classroom in Cornwall that left a lasting impression and later led him to form iCT4 with Josh in 2012. This was one of a handful of “classrooms of the future” in the UK – experimental projects designed to showcase the use of technology and innovative learning practices.

Anyone who has spent a minute working in education knows that a classroom of the future doesn’t resemble the reality in most UK schools. Instead of working with unlimited budgets and untested concepts, we’re often making existing resources stretch further and advising schools how to invest in systems that will stand the test of time.

However, Glyn’s experience made us appreciate how our expertise could make a positive social impact on young people’s lives and modernise the classroom for current and future students. Rather than wait for the perfect conditions for change, we decided to jump right in and help schools to adapt in a sector that’s evolving faster than most people realise.

Since the events of 2020, digital transformation and remote learning in education have taken a giant leap forward. We’re at the forefront of helping schools and MATs to prepare for a changing landscape.
