When I was at school, we played a game called Kickstone. It was like tag — but you had to make it back to the kickstone to be safe.

Years later, I found out that my daughter played it too.

That stone in the playground is the reliable thing. The base. The place you always come back to.

That's what we're building. Tools for primary schools that are the reliable base — for maths fluency, for reading, for every child, for the decisions that keep leaders awake at night.

Leaders get overwhelmed by the noise. The documents. The frameworks. The compliance demands. We help them speed up the onerous tasks so they can get back to what matters.

Back to base.

David Hunter

Founder & CEO

15+ years in UK primary education as Deputy Headteacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Assessment Lead, Curriculum Lead, Reading Lead and Pupil Premium Lead. I know the sector from the inside: the pressures on teachers, the compliance demands on leaders, and the gap between what schools need and what's available.

Kickstone Learning exists to close that gap. We're building modern tools for primary schools - designed by someone who's been in the classroom, not just observed it.
