We Want To See Your Students Using 1decision!

At 1decision, we’re immensely proud of our curriculum and resources. We currently cater to over 600 schools across the UK and beyond, and we’re always looking to grow. Though we’re only a small company, we have a big heart and a huge desire to change the world for the better. We realise that this change begins in childhood. With this in mind, we’re keen to show the world what we’re about.

1decision nominated for ERA's Early Years Resources Award!

After a year of hard work on our Early Years programme, we are so glad to announce that we have been nominated for the ERA's (Education Resources Awards) Early Years Resources award!

Our Early Years resources have been designed to meet the needs of the Development Matters Framework and cover a number of key areas but, in particular, elements of Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED).

Students are guided through our Early Years resources by our colourful Rainbow Drop characters. Throughout these resources, the Rainbow Drops will go on many adventures and learn a lot about the wider world that they live in.

Building the Early Years programme in-line with the PSHE statutory changes in schools has been challenging, however we are so proud of what we have built and how great the Rainbow Drops have turned out for our Early Years!
