Plan the lesson
Give teachers a clear learning goal, lesson structure and the materials to teach it.
Excellent teaching.
A school that works.
DUMA builds affordable schools around two things that have to work together: children making progress and a well-run business that can keep serving them.
Quality comes from what happens in every lesson.
A teaching playbook is useful only when teachers use it well. Our approach connects lesson preparation, practice, assessment and coaching into a repeating cycle.
Teach and practise
Explain, question and practise. Use our digital exercises and written learning materials to help children build specific skills.
Check understanding
Assess what children can do and where they are getting stuck. Use their answers to decide what needs more attention.
Coach and improve
Observe teaching, give specific feedback and practise improvements with the teacher. Bring what we learn into the next lesson.
Strong foundations.
Skills children can use.
Reading and mathematics matter. So does the ability to explain an idea, lead a team and create something. These are the capabilities our academic model is designed to develop.
Speak Studio
Read, write and express an idea clearly. Learn to give reasons, listen and present work.
Think Lab
Build fluency in mathematics and science. Ask questions, explain reasoning and solve problems.
Lead Studio
Take responsibility, work with others and see a task through.
Build Lab
Turn ideas into projects. Use design, digital tools and AI to make, test and improve something.
Reflection & Demo connects the studios: children review their work, improve it and present what they have learned.
Our technology.
Your curriculum.
DUMA combines AI-assisted teaching, proprietary digital tools and written learning programmes. Together, they support the work of teachers and give children more ways to practise, understand and create.
AI for teaching and learning
Our approach brings AI into lesson preparation, learning activities and feedback. Children also learn to use AI in projects: asking questions, evaluating answers and improving what they make.
Curriculum-agnostic digital tools
Our tools are designed to work alongside different curricula. Schools can strengthen practice and feedback without replacing their whole academic programme.
Our own learning programmes
Lesson guides, written explanations, exercises and project activities give teachers a structured starting point. Digital tools complement these materials as part of a complete teaching approach.
The business behind
a better school.
Affordability has to be built into the operation. We standardise recurring work so resources can go towards teaching and the school experience.
Hire and develop the team
Structured interviews and clear teaching expectations help us select teachers. Coaching continues after hiring, with school leaders responsible for following up.
Know where the money goes
The operating playbook and ERP organise collections, costs, approvals and reporting. Owners need to see the school’s financial position and act on it.
Build once, use across schools
Lesson resources, learning products, hiring methods and operating routines can support multiple campuses. Local teams adapt delivery to their pupils and community.
Built by people who have scaled education and technology.
DUMA combines academic leadership, business building and software engineering. Our founders have led major education businesses and built systems at Revolut. They bring that experience to physical schools.
