We explore the future through workshops, via our website and through projects where we probe the future in a more intensive way.

• They act as a catalyst so that people can think about the future in a systematic way, explore preferences and values, and take steps to make more students more successful in the future.
• We share stories about excellence and innovation already occurring in our schools and elsewhere, so that the way forward can be illuminated for others.

We've held workshops up and down the country with teachers and learners, trustees and parents, youth, business people, local councils and government organisations.

In our workshops we explore three key questions about the nature, purpose and form of secondary education and about what we as a nation want for our shared future. These are:

• What is the purpose of secondary education?
• How can secondary education best enable young people for their futures?
• How could learning happen?

We've found that people are eager to work in different ways, and to consider different time frames - taking a long-term view of how secondary education might be.

Overwhelmingly, people are telling us they are glad to have the chance to have their thinking challenged, and that our workshops give them the opportunity to think differently, both about the future and about what they do today.
