Choose from our range of carefully curated Key Stage 1 Workshops, Clubs & Challenges
Success4All has worked on a wide range of innovative STEM projects over the years, supporting both students and teachers alike.
STEM is a flourishing scene, with endless opportunities and potential. Sadly, not everyone views STEM in the same way.
The negative stereotypes and lack of diversity continue to hold females and students from low socio-economic backgrounds from studying STEM-related subjects and pursuing STEM careers.
Our STEM services are designed to inspire young people and raise the profile of exciting STEM opportunities.
We see it as part of our role to equip and empower teachers too. Our enquiry-based learning approach provides teachers with the opportunity to develop new teaching styles, whilst building their skills and confidence.

Zero Waste Heroes
Investigate the processes involved in sorting materials for being recycled and discuss why materials need to be sorted and why recycling is important for the planet.
Egg Drop Shop
Can you save an egg from the 4m fall from our double-decker bus? In this activity, students will have £100 to purchase items from our Egg Drop Shop!
Toothpaste Makers
Did you know the secret behind the perfect toothpaste lies in chemical engineering? In this workshop, students will create and test their own toothpaste recipes.
Digestive System
This activity will discuss food groups and how your body processes food. Students will have a go at modelling the digestive system in a messy and disgustingly fun activity to discover the crucial roles of our guts.
Birds & Beaks
Why do birds have different shaped beaks? In this activity, children will investigate how birds have adapted their beaks over time to eat their favourite food in their habitat.
Plant Dissections
Students will dissect a flower and a plant to identify and describe the different parts of plants.
Over the 3 weeks, students will work together to solve a 'real-life' inspired challenge faced by leading STEM organisations here in the North East.
Students will develop key investigative, communicative and teamwork skills along the way.

Recycling & Sustainability
Supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry, this project investigates the different properties of materials, why it is important to recycle, including the effect that plastic pollution is having on the environment, and the process of separating materials at a recycling plant.
Plants
How does a minuscule seed turn into a flower or plant? In this challenge, we will explore what plants need to grow and the amazing structures inside them.
The Secret Life of Germs: Humans & Hygiene
Including our highly popular toothpaste design session, this trio of activities will cover both hand and oral hygiene, as well as a brand new session all about the senses! We will explore why looking after your body is important and some of the brilliant things it can do.

Curiosity Club
Curiosity Club gives young people the opportunity to explore different topics, including science, art, crafts and engineering.
We aim to provide practical and collaborative opportunities for young people to explore, investigate and play.
As well as being provided children with a nurturing and relaxed learning environment, children who attend gain communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity skills.
STEM Challenge
Our 3-week STEM Challenge is designed as a practical and team-based experience for Key Stage 1 primary school classes or after-school groups.
In every STEM Challenge, young people will develop key investigation skills through self-directed learning. Children develop communication and teamwork skills as they work together to solve a challenge.
Code Club
Our Code Club offers children and young people the opportunity to explore the world of coding and computers, whilst having fun with their peers.
At Code Club, children and young people learn how to code using Scratch, a block-based programming language. We encourage our budding coders to explore and experiment with coding and technology.
What You Say
This project was engaging from the very start. All of the children were focused and demonstrated great teamwork skills. It was a fun way to learn about recycling and forces. Thank you!
Great resources and very interactive which is difficult with our knowledge/resources to replicate. The challenge allows interactive, fun discovery with a STEM aspect. Communication and team building are also impacted and we have seen positive outcomes.
‘Sessions are well staffed with the volunteers and children get a lot of one-to-one attention and help with their learning.’
‘S4A’s creative approaches and flexible delivery to study support have added significant value to the life chances of many of our young people.’
‘The Hub has been commented upon by Ofsted (2011 and 2014) as being a model of good practice.’
‘S4A have had a major impact on the achievements of our EAL-students and contributed to the fact that, in one year, our school EAL-pupils achieved better exam results than any other Newcastle secondary school.’
‘Success4All ran a German club, a Spanish club, an Italian club, an Italian Cooking club in our school. It engaged both parent and pupil in a different way of learning.’
‘Success4All is a great intervention both for students and staff, both in school and in a community setting. They have the opportunity to drop into the after school club and use facilities with support from their peers, approachable university students and staff. A great resource to be able to use when implementing personalised learning plans.’
‘The Success4All Learning Hub has enabled us to offer additional learning opportunities outside of the traditional school day. With the children getting close support from volunteers, this adds real value to learning and helps pupils to progress in the key areas of Reading, Writing, Maths and Science at Westgate Hill.’
‘I am writing in recognition of the outstanding contribution Success4All has made to the Curriculum at Walker Technology College since our partnership was formed in 2006. The College serves an area of extreme deprivation and increasing cultural diversity. It is an area where curricular solutions do not follow a one size fits all model, and where education is equally as much a pastoral as an academic experience. Success4All have embraced and built upon this dynamic from the outset and as a consequence their creative approaches to study support have added significant value to the life chances of many of our young people. The club has been commented upon by Ofsted in previous inspections and good practice visits as being a model of good practice.’
