Not one-off days — a year that builds. Hands-on workshops mapped to your school's themed weeks — as many as suit your calendar and budget — reaching every class from EYFS to Year 6, with the Future Skills Passport carrying the learning in between.
Plan your year → See the PassportA single workshop ignites curiosity — but the schools getting the most from Spark2 do something smarter: they build the whole year around the twelve Future Skills, anchoring a hands-on day to each of their themed weeks and letting the Passport keep the learning alive in between. It turns enrichment into progression, and one-off wow-days into a plan you can evidence.
Take the themed and awareness weeks already in your calendar — Anti-Bullying Week, Financial Literacy, Citizenship, Aspiration Week — and match each to the Future Skills workshop that brings it to life.
We bring everything and run up to seven sessions a day, so every class from Reception to Year 6 takes part. Many schools do one day per half term; others start with three or four — it's yours to shape, with no prep from your team.
Between visits, the Future Skills Passport delivers the same twelve skills as short weekly lessons — building progression and the statutory PSHE evidence for SLT and Ofsted.
Here's how a whole-school Future Skills year can map onto the moments a school already marks. Fully flexible — we build yours around your calendar and your priorities.
| Half term | An awareness week many schools mark | Spark2 workshop |
|---|---|---|
| Autumn 1 | Restart a Heart Day · October | Save a Life Be Well · first aid confidence |
| Autumn 2 | Talk Money Week · November | Manage Money Learn & Know · 2028 financial education |
| Spring 1 | Safer Internet Day · February | Navigate the Digital World Learn & Know · 2028 media literacy |
| Spring 2 | National Careers Week · March | Plan Their Future Create Change · careers & goals |
| Summer 1 | Earth Day · April | Protect the Planet Create Change · 2028 sustainability |
| Summer 2 | Healthy Eating Week · June | Stay Healthy Be Well · nutrition & wellbeing |
An illustrative example — your year is built around your own themed weeks and the skills that matter most to your pupils.
Every workshop and every Passport lesson maps to the same twelve Future Skills — the essentials every child should leave primary with, ready for the 2028 curriculum.
Save a Life · Look After Their Mind · Stay Healthy
Navigate the Digital World · Manage Money · Learn Effectively
Speak With Confidence · Work as a Team · Think Like an Entrepreneur
Solve Real Problems · Plan Their Future · Protect the Planet
The same twelve skills build across the year, so each day is a milestone in a journey — not an isolated event pupils forget by half term.
The Passport auto-maps every skill to the statutory PSHE framework, giving you an inspection-ready record per pupil, class and whole school.
Every class from EYFS to Year 6 takes part in every visit — and the Passport reaches them between visits too.
One plan, one provider, one set of dates held for the year. DBS-checked presenters, full risk assessments, everything included.
This isn't enrichment for its own sake. It maps straight onto priorities your development plan already carries — and the Passport gives you the evidence for each.
Twelve life skills delivered to every child across the year — the substance behind a strong personal-development offer.
Mental health, first aid, teamwork and resilience — a safe, respectful culture and pupils who can look after themselves and each other.
Every session differentiated EYFS to Year 6 and adapted to the pupils in the room, so every child takes part — inclusive by design, not by exception.
Mapped to statutory PSHE and ready for 2028, with a one-click evidence pack per pupil, class and whole school.
The workshops are the spark; the Passport is the sustain. The same twelve skills as one short weekly lesson, all year, so a memorable day becomes measurable progression.

Workshop days from £599 + VAT each — as many as suit your year — everything included, with the Future Skills Passport free for your first year.

From 2026–27 every mainstream school receives the new Inclusive Mainstream Fund — a £3,000 lump sum plus per-pupil funding — to become inclusive by design and improve pupils' wellbeing and personal development.
One of the fund's seven permitted themes is “accessible and enriching provision beyond the classroom — to support personal development, build independence and prepare for adulthood.” A Future Skills year — every child, differentiated, wellbeing and life-skills at its heart — sits naturally within that, and the Passport gives you ready-made evidence for the inclusion strategy schools must publish this year.
Schools decide their own allocation based on their cohort's needs — we'd simply be glad to help you show how a Future Skills year supports your inclusion strategy. See the fund ↗
