Our Mission: Empowering students to live successful, happy lives

Drawing on our background as professional performers, we provide interactive learning experiences that equip students with practical skills and knowledge, supporting them to thrive.

Our Story

OpenView Education was founded in 2018 by Laura Lattimore and James Ward.

Their aim was to use their experience as actors to provide high quality education for schools on sensitive topics.

Their focus was on preparing students to live successful lives.

OpenView Education now works with over 150,000 students every year across the country, providing exciting and interactive performances and workshops.

What Our Clients Say

‘OpenView Education is a pleasure to work with! The workshops were excellent, engaging and pitched just right for the age and ability of the children whether delivered in schools or at our community venues.

We were particularly impressed with the interactive activities. We also loved that the workshops were available from EYFS right through to KS2.

We had great feedback from every teacher, children’s practitioner and youth worker who attended the workshops, who said they were fun, interesting and that young people really enjoyed them.’

Judith Brooks,

Head of Children and Young People and Deputy CEO

YMCA East Surrey

‘I would like to comment on behalf of the teaching staff – who were absolutely amazed.

Children came from the sessions being able to retell what they learned. When checking pupil voice, children from each year group mentioned how fun it was and how they really liked do all the acting out and body movements.

Teachers raved about all three instructors, complimenting their behaviour management and their ability to engage with the children. EYFS was especially impressed with how they were able to captivate the children.

‘OpenView Education are true to their mission – students at Middlesex University who attended the sessions bore testimony to OpenView’s claim – they truly do “equip students with the self-confidence and knowledge they need to stay safe and to live successful, happy lives.

Working with OpenView has been fun, productive and impactful.

They are highly professional in approach, and have great understanding of how best to engage students in exploratory and learning activities.’

‘I want to pass on my huge gratitude for the amazing workshops delivered over three days at Putney high school. The response was amazing. Your patience, delivery and professionalism shone through and there’s been so much positive feedback from parents. You started a very important conversation in the school about E-safety, raise its profile and I hope this serves as a catalyst for future work.

Thank you again and I hope you get to work again together in the future.’
