Where it fits in your provision

One resource that flexes across the ways primary schools already run intervention.

Nurture groups

Warm, game-based sessions that build confidence, self-regulation and belonging without feeling like more school work.

Catch-up & pastoral

A calm, structured slot for pupils who need time on the skills that sit underneath learning — resilience, focus, getting along.

1:1 & small group

Works just as well with a single child and a mentor as it does with a group of six around a table.

Afternoon nurture

Drop a 10-minute session into the start of the afternoon to re-settle and re-focus before the next lesson.

Why it works for these pupils

The children who most need intervention are often the ones who disengage from it. This is built the other way round.

  • Game-based, not worksheet-based. Pupils earn their way through real-life skills, so attention and buy-in come for free.
  • No planning, no expertise needed. Each lesson is self-guided on the device — a TA or mentor can pick it up and run it.
  • Every session is a whole, finished thing. Miss a week and nothing breaks; each 10-minute lesson stands on its own.
  • Skills that matter for these children. Emotions and wellbeing, staying safe, money, first aid, getting along with others — the life skills that build independence.
  • Quietly evidences your PSHE and personal-development offer for the very pupils it can be hardest to show progress for.
Pupil-Premium fundable

A defensible use of your Pupil Premium spend

Because the Passport targets wellbeing, social skills and life skills for disadvantaged pupils, it is a fundable, evidence-backed use of Pupil Premium — and Pupil Premium Plus for looked-after and previously looked-after children. Progress tracking gives you the evidence trail reviews ask for.

Progress you can show at review

As pupils complete skills, their progress is tracked — so you walk into a Pupil Premium review, provision-map update or parent meeting with something concrete, not a gut feeling.

How to run it

Set-up is a morning, not a term.

1

Pick your slot

A timetabled intervention block, the start of the afternoon, or a short daily nurture session — 10 minutes is enough.

2

Hand it to a TA

No planning or prep. Your TA, HLTA or mentor opens the session on a device and the lesson runs itself.

3

Let pupils play & progress

Children work through game-based life-skills lessons at their own pace while progress quietly builds in the background.

4

Show the evidence

Pull the progress trail into reviews and provision maps to demonstrate impact for your target pupils.

Intervention questions, answered

Can a TA run the sessions without a teacher present?

Yes. The Future Skills Passport is designed to be TA-led and low-prep — each lesson is self-guided on the device, so a teaching assistant, HLTA or mentor can run a group with no planning or subject expertise.

Is it suitable for nurture groups, catch-up and 1:1?

It works across all of them. The game-based format holds the attention of pupils who find sit-and-listen intervention hard, so it suits nurture provision, pastoral catch-up, small groups and 1:1 alike.

Can we fund it through Pupil Premium?

Yes. Because it targets wellbeing, social skills and life skills for the pupils who most need them, it is a fundable use of Pupil Premium (and Pupil Premium Plus for looked-after children).

What ages is it for?

It is built for KS2 — ages 7 to 11 — and the reading load and game mechanics are pitched for that range.

How long are the sessions?

About 10 minutes each, so they drop neatly into a timetabled intervention slot, the start of the afternoon, or a short nurture session.

Do we get evidence to show at reviews?

Yes. Pupil progress is tracked as they complete skills, giving you something concrete to show at Pupil Premium reviews, provision-map updates and parent conversations.

Is it really free to try?

Yes — you can start a free trial and run real sessions with a group before you decide whether to continue.
