The Centre for Personalised Education emerged in 1995 from a longer history dating back to 1988 with Education Now and various groups that grew from the same roots with overlapping memberships and networks. Alongside these the Education Now Publishing Co-operative and Educational Heretics Press provided a core platform for our thinking.

In 2018 we will have been active for some 30 years…

Our brief brings us into contact with a huge range of alternative and mainstream educational settings, projects and educators.
Our focus on personalisation brings us to take a critical stance against rigid mass schooling systems whilst acknowledging and celebrating settings / projects / innovations where more open, self-directed, democratic and flexible approaches are employed.
