Our Lift Schools' students took the lead at Bett UK this year, showcasing how they’re using education technology in the classroom. 

Bett UK - a global meeting place for the EdTech community - brings together some of the best and brightest innovations in education tech to see how gadgets, software, and AI can improve teaching and learning.

Students from Lift Shafton, in Yorkshire, took to the stage to talk about how they are using education technology to boost their learning and classroom experiences.
