Class Of Your Own

What Class Of Your Own does

Class Of Your Own is a UK-based social enterprise founded in 2009 that designs and delivers STEM learning programs with a thematic focus on the infrastructure and built environment sector. The company translates subjects such as civil engineering, architecture, surveying, and urban planning into structured educational content for school-age learners, positioning its programs as a vehicle for delivering ESG-related impact (including awareness of sustainable development and built-environment careers). Its founder, Alison Watson, continues to serve as Chief Executive, indicating a single-leader governance model typical of small mission-driven education providers.

The company operates on a for-profit basis with a headcount of 11–50 staff, headquartered in Clitheroe, United Kingdom. The business model is consistent with that of an education-focused social enterprise: revenue is generated through program licensing, curriculum delivery, and likely teacher training and accreditation services sold to secondary schools, further-education institutions, and potentially corporate/industry partners in the built environment. No public pricing, customer logos, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available data, and the company's own website returned a loading/verification page rather than substantive content, limiting the granularity of the operating model description.

Direct peers

• Royal Academy of Engineering: National academy running school engagement programmes, awards and curriculum support aimed at increasing engineering participation among young people. Comparable as a STEM-education-for-young-people organisation with similar policy influence, though backed by an institutional academy rather than a social enterprise model.
• Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) — Go Construct: Industry-funded body promoting construction careers to young people through school engagement, resources and employer partnerships. Directly comparable in targeting the built environment skills pipeline via schools, and a potential partner or competitor for Class Of Your Own's infrastructure curriculum.
• STEM Learning (formerly STEMNET): The UK's largest provider of STEM education support to schools, colleges and employers, running enrichment programmes, CPD and student-facing STEM activities. Directly comparable to Class Of Your Own as a school-facing STEM programme provider, but at materially larger scale and broader subject coverage.
• EngineeringUK: Not-for-profit that runs programmes (e.g., Engineering Design Show, Big Bang) to inspire young people about engineering careers and produces the influential Engineering UK report. Highly comparable mission and target audience (UK secondary schools and students), with a similar ESG/workforce-skills narrative tied to engineering.
• Primary Engineer: Social enterprise working with teachers and engineers to deliver engineering-based STEM projects in primary and secondary schools across the UK. Closely aligned model — social enterprise, school-delivered engineering curriculum, project-based learning — making it one of the closest operating comparables to Class Of Your Own.
• Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Education team: Professional body delivering school engagement, careers resources and curriculum support focused specifically on civil engineering and the built environment. Arguably the most thematically direct peer given Class Of Your Own's infrastructure/built environment focus, though operating from a professional body rather than as an independent social enterprise.
• Engineering Development Trust (EDT): UK charity delivering hands-on STEM and engineering programmes (e.g., Engineering Education Scheme, Industrial Cadets) partnered with industry, targeting school-aged students. Closely mirrors Class Of Your Own's blend of school-based programmes with industry-linked ESG/STEM impact.
• TeenTech: Charity running school-based events and curriculum-linked challenges that introduce teenagers to science, engineering and technology careers with industry sponsors. Comparable audience (UK secondary schools), STEM/mission orientation, and project-based learning format similar to Class Of Your Own.

Broad incumbents

• Design Council: UK organisation promoting design and built environment innovation through programmes, education and policy work. Comparable thematic overlap (built environment, education, impact) but operates more as a policy/advocacy body than a school-delivered curriculum provider, making it a broader incumbent in adjacent space.
• LEGO Education (LEGO Learning): Global STEM/STEAM education solutions provider selling project-based learning kits and curriculum to schools. Comparable as a project-based STEM-in-school player with design-and-engineering content, though operating at much larger scale and with broader STEAM rather than infrastructure-specific positioning.
