Empowering Every Learner

Created by the team at Rookery Road, Positive Prep offers practical tools and resources to support students, families, and educators – at school and beyond.

About Positive Prep

Positive Prep grew out of our work at Rookery Road, where we support students with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, and executive function challenges.

We saw a need for more guidance at key transition points, like moving into high school. Positive Prep was created to fill that gap, giving students, parents, and educators practical strategies and evidence-based tools they can use right away.

Our team of educators, social workers, and learning specialists bring decades of experience in literacy, inclusion, and research-backed teaching. We’re here to make learning more accessible and empowering for every learner.

Positive Prep is designed for students with learning differences, their parents or caregivers, and the educators who support them. Whether your child is preparing for high school or you’re looking for evidence-based tools to support learning, Positive Prep has resources for you.

Rookery Road provides direct educational therapy and tailored student support. Positive Prep builds on this foundation, offering online tools, courses, and workshops to make these strategies more widely accessible to families and educators everywhere.

Yes. Positive Prep offers both on-demand courses and live workshops. Live sessions provide opportunities for interaction, Q&A, and personalised guidance.

Absolutely. All of our courses and resources are grounded in research-backed methods, combining best practice in literacy and learning with practical classroom and home strategies.
