Become a Romodels School
Our online learning platform equips schools with:
​
An easy way to introduce learners to 21st century careers
Innovative and hidden professions in sectors of growth. Schools don’t have to develop deep industry knowledge to prepare their learners for the future.
​
A personalised experience to help children learn and grow
Teachers can focus less on planning and more on personalisation because our program enables them to incorporate real-life experiential learning opportunities, leveraging content aligned with the Curriculum for Wales and tailored to their children's' individual learning level.
​
Tools to build their learners’ belief in themselves
Our Learner Reflection Guides to help children recognise their strengths and identify what it might take to become that Romodel in the future.
Join the pilot
We already have 15 schools across 10 Local Authorities in Wales participating in our free pilot program. We are actively seeking an additional 6-8 schools to join from September 2024, with a particular interest in Welsh medium schools and schools in North Wales joining
Our Romodels Learning portal currently has one Romodel from each of our first four themes Bees, climate change, football and plastic waste.
-
Plastic Waste-Sam G, a Marine Ecologist working internationally to campaign against plastic waste.

By September, we will also launch our Technology theme, featuring two Welsh-speaking brothers, Morgan and Bleddyn, who are engineers. They are 3D-printing surfboards from biodegradable materials to reduce the number ending up in landfills. We are also actively fundraising for themes on creatives and overcoming barriers.
