Why StoryQuest?

Proven Impact, Untested Format In live sessions across 9 schools, 465 students (318 evaluated) achieved 100% engagement with zero behavioral incidents. Reluctant writers became authors, and teachers saved hours of planning.

Now, we’re recording those sessions for your staff to facilitate independently. The digital format is untested, but with your feedback, we’ll perfect it for a January 2026 global launch.

What You Solve

  • Disengagement: Sustained 45+ minute focus, even for iPad-trained students.
  • Behavioral Challenges: Zero incidents during sessions—energy channeled into creativity.
  • Reluctant Writers: “I want to be an author” in just 6 weeks.
  • SEND/SEMH/EAL Needs: Works without modifications for all students.
  • Teacher Burnout: Ready-to-use resources, no extra planning.

“Even kids who hate writing didn’t want to leave. They asked to do it again tomorrow.” — Tom Hirst, Head of English, Dixons Manningham Primary

What This Actually Solves

Not another literacy programme. A methodology that addresses the root cause of disengagement.

Medical Labels, No Solutions

More ADHD/autism diagnoses but no specialist support. Students falling behind while you wait for help that never comes.

→ Worked for 100% of students including ADHD, autism, trauma histories - without any special adaptations.

iPad Generation Won't Focus

Trained to consume endless content. Can't concentrate for 10 minutes. Everything is "boring."

→ "We could stay on the work all day" - students who can't normally focus sustaining 45+ minute engagement.

Worsening Behavior

Violence, runners, refusal. Consequences that used to work don't anymore. You're managing safety, not teaching.

→ Zero behavioural incidents across 318 students during writing sessions. Energy channeled into creativity instead of classroom conflict.

Teacher Exhaustion

Hours of planning. Constant behaviour management. Guilt about students you can't reach. Joy is gone.

→ "Engaging reluctant boys in writing has been a school focus. In our session pupils couldn't wait to get started. Written outcomes are very strong." Claire Light, Quality of Education Leader, Beckfoot Heaton Primary

The Entertainment Trap

Expected to compete with TikTok. You're a teacher, not an influencer. Students expect entertainment, not education.

→ Their own stories are infinitely more engaging than any content you provide. You facilitate, not perform.

Writing Refusal

Fear of the blank page. "I can't write." Reluctant writers becoming non-writers. Gap widening every term.

→ "I want to be an author one day" - identity shifts from "student who writes" to "author" in 6 weeks.

 

I was proud because I have never written a story with as much detail as this one"

It felt really exciting because I've never done something like this before. I was also happy that it was a story we made by ourself." 

____Yr 6, Bradford

Thank you for giving me an opportunity to do this. You have really inspired me!"

____Yr 6, Bradford

____Yr 6, Bradford

I felt good because I wrote my first actual story"

  • Oracy-first: Removes shame of “wrong” spelling.
  • Freedom to express: Students process feelings through their stories.
  • Partner scribing: Builds trust and vulnerability.
