BUILT FROM REAL SCHOOL WORK

One Beatbotz family, with each programme keeping its own character.

The platform now uses the visual language already developed through Start Together and Zoo Zen, while the wider Beatbotz identity holds the suite together.

ONE CONNECTED SUITE

Different tools. One shared purpose.

Some programmes support the whole school day. Others focus on a particular need, moment or conversation. The visual language stays connected so pupils and staff do not have to start again every time.

Pilot conceptSchool support

Belong Together

Real situations. Real choices. Knowing where to turn.

Short filmed or animated scenarios that help teenagers explore safeguarding, relationships, pressure, online life and help-seeking without feeling like a worksheet.

Stay Together

An interactive pupil-and-staff approach that reduces communication demand, notices what affects capacity, creates achievable moments of success and helps adults keep effective support consistent over time.

FIND THE RIGHT STARTING POINT

What are you trying to support?

Choose the school priority that feels closest. The site will suggest a useful place to start — without pretending one programme fits every pupil or setting.

01
RECOMMENDED START

Start Together

Use a predictable daily routine to help pupils arrive, communicate, regulate and become ready to learn.

A CONNECTED JOURNEY

Support that can grow with the pupil.

The suite is not intended as a rigid pathway. It is a set of familiar tools schools can draw on at different moments — from universal routines to targeted support and pupil-led storytelling.

01Primary / SEND

Start + Speak

Connection, communication, regulation and readiness.

02Across phases

Stay + Zoo Zen

Notice capacity, create achievable success, regulate and reconnect.

03School support

Belong + Net

Safeguarding, digital judgement, relationships and help-seeking.

04Targeted / individual

SWEEP + My Voice

Support planning, agency, identity and aspiration.

A SIMPLE SHARED METHOD

Check in. Explore. Choose. Connect.

A common interaction pattern gives the suite a recognisable Beatbotz feel while leaving room for age, communication style and school context. Start Together builds predictable connection; Zoo Zen supports regulation; Speak Together opens communication; Stay Together uses those same principles to create and sustain achievable success when engagement becomes harder.

CO-PRODUCTION

Young people can be part of the production team.

Drama, media and pupil leadership groups can help write, act, film, test and review scenarios. The result is more authentic content — and a meaningful creative project in its own right.

FROM IDEA TO PILOT

A practical way to build it with a school.

The aim is not to drop a generic app into a setting. Each pilot starts small, agrees what matters, personalises the right details and gathers useful evidence.

01

Discover

Agree the problem, pupils, staff workflow and safeguarding context.

02

Personalise

Add school identity, trusted adults, communication methods and local language.

03

Co-produce

Bring in staff and young people to shape scenarios, visuals, scripts or media.

04

Review + evidence

Check safeguarding, test usability and capture what changed in practice.

DESIGNED TO PROVE IMPACT

Useful for pupils. Usable for staff. Evidenced for leaders.
