We are parents, We are educators
Our mission is to help teachers and parents to work closer together to improve children’s learning and character development. We believe this starts with better family conversations about school.
Adrian Burt, Founder of MarvellousMe
It’s a fact that the more engaged parents are with teachers, the more their children’s education, behaviour, confidence and wellbeing improve. Knowing what they do daily and what parents can do to help them at home is more than important, it’s necessary.
Yet any parent of a young child knows how difficult it is to get a straightforward answers to questions like: ‘What did you learn today?’ and ‘What’s that sticker for?’
Every teacher knows how difficult it is to set up an efficient system for speaking and reporting to each parent on a daily basis. Pieces of paper in bags, reading and homework books, unexplained stickers, parent evenings and school websites just don’t cut it.
So we built MarvellousMe.
- To encourage and help teachers to focus home communication where it really matters, on learning topics and character skills.
- To supercharge family conversations about school, and make it easy for parents to provide better at-home support.
- To give leaders visibility and control, to ensure that parent engagement is consistent and sustained in every class.
MarvellousMe is for every primary school teacher and parent in the world. To give children the best start in life.

Parent engagement is one of the most effective ways to improve test scores, boost character development and confidence, and help children become more powerful learners. The more parents and children have good conversations about school, the better pupils achieve. MarvellousMe makes these family conversations happen.

We love MarvellousMe! I’ve never had an initiative go down so well with parents, children and staff! It’s wonderful because the children are actively getting their parents involved. It's been so popular with parents who are separated and dads say how included they feel.

I love MarvellousMe. It’s so quick and easy. I use it with my class to reinforce their learning and to praise those who have done well. Children are really motivated by knowing that their parents are instantly told the good news.

An amazing app! Finally, I can see what my son has been doing at school. Asking him is like getting blood from a stone.
