Tailored programmes for every school to go to the top
Over the years we have worked with a variety of independent schools across the UK. Our work in these schools is just as necessary and relevant as any other school and receives similar acclaim and respect. Many schools bring us in to run our flagship ‘Who Am I’ with a certain cohort or year group and bring us back in every year to work with the upcoming students.
Our approach is rooted in best practice and over 20 years of experience in a variety of different schools. Every school is different and we take that experience to develop something that will fit the nature of your unique community. Whether it’s building leadership with older students, improving mental health, or supporting transitions, we work closely with you to create a programme that aligns with your school’s priorities and values.

...and many more. We are proud to have built lasting relationships with these schools, continually working together to meet the evolving needs of their students.
I wanted to send our heartfelt thanks to you for the recent Y12 induction workshop that your team led at Berkhamsted. They were masterful in their delivery of the afternoon workshop with a considerable-sized cohort of 200+ students. It completely matched the brief – supporting positive social interactions with many new students, starting afresh post GCSE exams and getting them excited about their A-Level studies. Thank-you for your positive energy and enthusiasm in making something bespoke for us – the student feedback was that it was engaging and empowering! “

humanutopia are phenominal. The way they interact with children and bring such honest emotion out of them is nothing short of miraculous. humanutopia [has] been coming to our school for well over 10 years now and we can't foresee that changing any time soon.”

Case Study
Berkhamsted
Berkhamsted is a leading group of schools in Hertfordshire – senior schools for boys and girls, two prep schools, and a mixed sixth form. Our partnership with Berkhamsted stretches back to 2019 when we were invited to help the senior school third form students from the boys school and girls school work closer together. This has grown into a larger cross phase programme which we are very proud of, having students from the sixth form acting as mentors to support:
-
Transition and skill building for prep school students
-
Year 9 reflect on their relationships, who they are and want to be
-
Sixth Form Induction – setting the tone for a very important two years.
-
We also give them intensive training to be mental health ambassadors and work
-
with Year 7 (collaborating with an external programme the school were already
-
using)
This means that each student will have input with us as they move through school in Year 6, Year 9, Year 11 and Year 12, each programme relevant to what they need at each stage of their education. The students who are now in the Sixth Form have been through the full journey and have gone from being mentee to mentor!
When students board together this is even more important!
We have experience working with Boarding Houses and Houseparents in schools to develop bespoke programmes to help foster a sense of community, support young people who may be new to boarding, and bring together students of all ages and backgrounds so that they can understand each other better. We also have experience working in prep schools to support young people understand themselves better, work together, and feel confident about their future.
