New pencil cases, freshly labelled trays, and that particular kind of September energy — welcome back! Whether this is your first September in the classroom or your fifteenth, we hope this year gets off to a brilliant start.
And we've got something to make it even better.
Over the last few months, we've been listening closely to teacher feedback, digging into how you actually use Teach Active day to day, and building something we're genuinely excited to share: a brand new Teach Active dashboard, live and ready for the new school year.
Watch the Walkthrough with Jon Smedley
Want to see it all in action? Our founder, Jon Smedley, has put together a full walkthrough of everything new in the dashboard — from the bookmarking tool to the AI Lesson Assistant and beyond.
Built By Teachers, For Teachers
This wasn't a redesign for the sake of it. Every change comes from real conversations with real teachers — the small frustrations, the "I wish it could just do this" moments, and the features you told us would save you time. The result is a dashboard that's faster, smarter, and genuinely easier to use.
Here's what's new.
The Best Possible Start
New to Teach Active, or just want a refresher? Our new onboarding top tips walk your school through everything you need to know to hit the ground running from day one.
Bookmark Your Favourites
This is the one you've been asking for. No more scrolling back through pages trying to find "that great lesson from last term." The new bookmarking tool lets you save your favourite lessons in one click and organise them into your own folders — by term, topic, class, or however makes sense to you. Your go-to lessons, always within reach.
A Filter That Works the Way You Do
We've stripped back the clutter. The lesson filter is cleaner and simpler, so you can find exactly what you need in fewer clicks. And with the new curriculum changer, you can tailor the filter to match your school's specific curriculum needs — whether that's the National Curriculum, Curriculum for Excellence, or another framework — so what you see is always relevant to you.
A Smarter AI Lesson Assistant
We've also given our AI Lesson Assistant a serious upgrade. It's now even better at recommending tailored lesson plans in seconds — and for the first time, it can help you build full intervention plans, making it simple to support pupils who need something a little different, without hours of extra planning.
A New Home for CPD
The new School Hub brings together training videos, CPD resources and practical guides all in one place, making it easier than ever for your whole staff team to get confident and get the most out of Teach Active.
Fresh Ideas for Autumn
Term one calls for a season-appropriate lift, so we've added a brand new set of Autumn term seasonal activities — ready to bring some September sparkle to your PE and active learning sessions from week one.
