Our
Mission
Mission Statement
We spend a huge chunk of our lives in school. Yet, the current education system doesn’t work for everyone, with the impact of school experiences often underestimated. At Codevelo, we are acutely aware of the profound way in which school experiences shapes our lives, influencing our future opportunities, well-being, and relationships, life chances and sometimes, even survival.
Our mission is to transform and enhance the educational experiences of millions of children and young people across the country. We believe that every student deserves to feel safe, included, and connected within their school community. Every child and young person deserves to belong within a positive educational experience that prepares them for a happy and safe life. This is only possible when relationships are forged and repaired, kindness is embodied, and connection is found in every opportunity. For too long, the mindset of “that’s how we’ve always done it” has held back progress.
We collaborate with schools and educational providers, offering industry-leading training, tailored support, and development partnerships to foster inclusive practices. Our goal is to enhance belonging, connection, and positive outcomes for every child.
Our approach is inclusive, ethical, and affordable, ensuring every school can access the tools and resources needed to meet the diverse needs of their students. Driven by lived and professional experience, we are passionate about original research, embracing expertise, and listening to those we support. We are ready to challenge the status quo, ask the difficult questions, and think differently. At Codevelo, the well-being and experiences of every student guide every decision we make.
Together, we aim to create a future where every child’s school experience is a catalyst for lifelong growth, happiness, and connection.
We should belong. They should belong. You should belong.
Our Values
Connection
We believe in the power of connection.
Whether we're forging new links, collaborating with experts or partnering with organisations committed to deliberate inclusion - Connection makes the world go round.
Curiosity
A commitment to moving forward.
When it comes to finding solutions, curiosity is how we move forward. We want to be curious about the behaviour we see, the policies we operate under and the experiences we offer.
Kindness
Kindness, even when it's difficult.
Kindness is where we start with communication and connection. However, kindness isn't always easy. Operating in the best interests of children and young people is our non-negotiable.
A message from Founder, Jack Pattinson
” I’m incredibly lucky. I love what I do. It’s a joy to support and partner with schools, staff and young people across the country.
My passion for inclusive education stems from my own challenging experiences in school. I was very much the ‘square peg’. So, after leaving school I worked in and around education for several years before considering how I could best support purposeful change to benefit the children who technically belong in school but don’t feel like they truly belong. “
