ThinkTank Education
We are an innovative critical thinking, social and emotional skills programme, targetted at those who often require what mainstream education can omit.
Our curricula is tailored to be compliment with the UK education system and the 21st century needs of its pupils.
Methodology
Our methodology pillars of Metcognition, Mediated Focused Inquiry & Interdisciplinary Transferral are used alongside strategy-based board games that we have sourced from around the world.
Practical Education
Using these games, group based work, reflection and ‘think on your feet‘ experiences particular thinking processes are targeted, and thinking habits, thinking methods and thinking concepts are habitualised – all whilst having fun!
Not by force shall the youth learn, but through play.

The ThinkTank Programme
A system for the development and training of children’s thinking abilities and life skills. At its heart is the notion that the most effective way to learn is through a challenging, immediate and authentic experience.
Game playing is the perfect example of such an experience – it is entertaining, engaging and exciting, and therefore stimulates eager involvement. The game-playing experience provides fertile ground for the training and application of thinking abilities and life skills.
Our world seems to need more flexible thought than ever before, the ThinkTank Programme prepares our children for the future by teaching them to think for themselves, reflect and learn from their mistakes and successes, collaborate with others and to transfer their skills to other situations.
ThinkTank is strategic play for future success.
The children learn to:
• Think critically and creatively
• Self-reflect, analyses and evaluate
• Forward plan and optimise decision making
• Use their initiative and problem solve
• Vocalise and text hypotheses and their ideas
• Communicate, and work effectively with others
The programme provides:
• An age appropriate well-structured curricula
• Mediated experiential learning
• Metacognitive methodology
• Discussion based focused enquiry
• Enhanced non-verbal reasoning outcomes
• Hypothesis testing
• Thinking methods ‘tool-kit’

ThinkTank’s innovative fun-packed programme for 4 to 14 year-olds uses carefully selected games and puzzles from around the world to develop and sharpen children’s thinking, intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, all whilst having an engaging, enjoyable and individualised experience.
Through well-structured curricula, children learn how to vocalise and test their ideas in a safe environment, thus encouraging creativity, critical thinking and initiative within the game, and within class discussion.
