EdInsight

In short - we save school leaders time. We bring together carefully chosen education suppliers and introduce them to Headteachers and senior leaders in a way that’s quick, relaxed and genuinely useful. No hard sell. No pressure. Just clear insight so you can decide what might work for your school. Our online Showcase Events run in the evening (yes, from the sofa is absolutely fine). You’ll hear short, sharp presentations, ask questions if you want to, and come away with new ideas - without spending hours researching or sitting through sales calls. And because we know your time is precious, we say thank you with a £40 Amazon voucher for sharing your feedback. Why do we do it? Because schools are busy, choice is overwhelming, and good decisions start with good information. That’s BlueCow. Simple, respectful, and built around you. 💙

We’re delighted to share that Reading On Your Head are joining us at our Showcase Event tonight. An award-winning platform, rooted in educational research and run by teachers, @READINGONYOURH1 is built around one clear goal: enabling a genuine love of reading - while also supporting fluency and comprehension. Their approach tackles three key areas: • Reading for pleasure • Reading fluency • Reading comprehension With thousands of instantly accessible activities, curriculum-aligned content, and low-threshold, high-ceiling resources, schools can dip in quickly or go deeper when needed. And importantly, everything can be downloaded and used in class or at home, saving teachers valuable time. Tonight’s session is full, but we hope this gives you a flavour of the brilliant suppliers we’re proud to introduce at our Showcase Events. We hope Reading On Your Head will be joining us again very soon. If you’d like to see companies like this in action, keep an eye out for our upcoming sessions - we’d love to welcome you along. 💙 bluecoweducation.com/online-supplie…

This week marks Children’s Mental Health Week, led by @Place2Be, and it’s a powerful reminder of just how important belonging is to children’s wellbeing. The theme for 2026 is “This is My Place” - focusing on helping children and young people feel that they belong: in their friendships, their school, their community, and the wider world. That sense of belonging plays a vital role in mental health, confidence and long-term outcomes. Place2Be have created a brilliant set of free resources and activities for schools, families and communities, designed to support conversations around belonging in a way that’s age-appropriate and meaningful. Whether it’s a small activity, a discussion, or a moment of reflection, it all counts. So far, 465 schools have already added themselves to the map to say they’re taking part - has your school joined in? We know many of you will already have plans in place, but if you’re looking for inspiration or extra ideas, their website is well worth a look. Small moments. Big impact. 💙 childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk

🔐 Safer Internet Day | Tuesday 10 February 2026 Safer Internet Day is coming up next week - a valuable opportunity to focus on online safety, digital literacy and wellbeing with children and young people. There are so many wonderful resources available to support schools in this area, making it easier than ever to start meaningful conversations about staying safe online. From lesson plans and videos to discussion prompts and live events, there’s plenty to choose from - even if you only dip into one or two ideas. One great example comes from the BBC, who continue to work in partnership with Childnet to provide high-quality, age-appropriate content around topics such as scams, phishing and online safety, all linked to the theme “Too good to be true?” 📺 Live Lesson | Tuesday 10 February at 11am: The BBC will be hosting a Safer Internet Day Live Lesson where pupils are invited to think like responsible AI designers, working together to design a safe and reliable chatbot - a brilliant way to explore AI, safety and critical thinking. 👩‍🏫 For teachers: There’s also a panel discussion programme available to catch up on, focusing on teaching digital literacy and online safety in primary schools. A gentle reminder that you don’t need to do everything - even one conversation or activity can make a real difference. 👉 Worth a look if you’re planning ahead for next week.

National Storytelling Week is a lovely reminder of the stories we share with children - not just the ones in books, but the ones we tell without even realising. The bedtime stories we repeat night after night. The “when I was at school…” stories - the ones that still stay with us today, like 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' or 'The Hare and the Tortoise'. Stories that quietly taught us about honesty, perseverance and resilience, long before we realised it. These stories shape how children see the world and themselves. They help build confidence, curiosity and a sense of what might be possible. In schools, storytelling is just as powerful. The way learning is framed, experiences are shared, and ideas are brought to life can turn information into something children truly connect with. At Blue Cow, we see this through the stories school leaders share with us at our events - what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what they want to do better for their pupils. Here’s to the stories that spark imagination, build understanding and stay with us long after they’re told.
