Looking for an Alternative to EducationCity?

It is with great sadness that we’ve learned Edmentum will be retiring EducationCity later this year. Change is never easy, and our thoughts are with the employees affected by this decision. We also appreciate that teachers and pupils value consistency, and finding a new supplier can be both time-consuming and overwhelming.
At Busy Things, we’ve supported thousands of UK primary schools over the last 25 years and we’d love to support yours too.
What next?
We understand that EducationCity will remain available until August this year, so there is plenty of time to evaluate and consider all the options. We’d recommend starting by:
- reviewing your school’s needs and
- considering the area of EducationCity that you valued most.
If you’re looking for engaging, curriculum-linked activities to support your school’s teaching and learning, just like EducationCity’s, Busy Things could be a great fit.
