Schools DIY Workshops

Empowering the Next Generation with Practical Skills

Our Schools Program is designed to inspire and equip students with essential DIY and maintenance skills, offering a hands-on learning experience that’s both engaging and practical. Tailored for both primary and secondary schools, we have a particular focus on the Transition Year (TY) curriculum, helping students build confidence, problem-solving abilities, and practical know-how.

What We Offer

We deliver a dynamic three-part program designed to accommodate different learning levels: Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level is taught over a full day, ensuring that students get in-depth instruction and plenty of time to practice their new skills and continue to upskill.

Key Topics Covered

• Block Walls & Fillers: Learn the essentials of repairing and maintaining block walls.
• Stud Walls & Fixings: Understand the structure of stud walls and the correct way to use fixings.
• Mending Stud Walls: Develop the skills to repair and reinforce damaged stud walls.
• Doors – Hinges & Handles: Learn the installation and maintenance of door hinges and handles.

Fully Inclusive Learning

We provide all the materials and tools required, meaning there are no extra costs for your school or students. Safety is always at the forefront of everything we do. Our expert instructors ensure that every participant gets hands-on experience with professional-grade equipment in a supportive, collaborative environment.

Bringing Learning to Life

This program is about more than just skills; it’s about giving students the confidence to take on practical challenges and succeed. See the following video for a look at how our program works in action with some of our recent TY students. The feedback has been phenomenal with every single school we have worked with so far, deciding to run the programme again for next year.
