Satchel

Satchel is an award-winning technology business and a leader in classroom management and distance learning software. Their flagship product Satchel One, is the #1 learning platform trusted by 1 in 3 secondary schools in the UK and over 20 countries worldwide.

Their solutions provide school leaders, teachers, students and parents with the products and services they need on their journey through education. In response to the increased gap in attainment caused by disruption due to COVID-19, Satchel Classes was launched. This service provides affordable and free classes to students to watch live or on demand classes to support their catch-up learning, gain insight into future careers and learn about important life skills

Satchel have joined forces with national children’s charity Action Medical Research for their first official charity partnership, which launches in May 2021 to strive for a better future for all children.

Direct support from Satchel will provide funds to support the charity in its mission to save and change children’s lives through medical research, developing treatments, vaccinations and cures. Satchel wanted to support a charity that had a meaningful impact on the lives of young people due to the close ties they have with schools and children. Satchel has been supplying 1 in 3 UK secondary schools with software that supports students' personal development by providing teachers and schools with tools that provide a holistic view of progression and allow them to support student wellbeing.
 

Themed activity throughout the year will see live webinars hosted by leading children’s health research experts the first of which will shine a spotlight on the charity’s COVID Appeal for Children. Right now, there's a lack of research focusing on children and how the virus and pandemic affects them. There are still many unanswered questions for parents that need tackling including: Why are some children more vulnerable to COVID-19 than others?  How is the pandemic affecting my child's mental health?
