About us

In January 2000, Bigfoot started with a vision to help transform education in mainstream schools through a creative approach to learning. Today we are the UK’s largest independent arts education company, delivering high-quality creative learning experiences to thousands of school children across the UK every week.

Be part of the best quality arts education providers in the country

Delivering creative education that is fun, engaging and inspiring is a serious business for Bigfoot, as we believe using creativity in the right way can positively impact a child’s development. Bigfoot pioneered a training programme to ensure that the highest possible standards are met. We equip talented artists and performers with the knowledge, skills and support to become amazing arts facilitators who can deliver the best creative workshops into the classroom and beyond. These experts are fondly referred to as ‘Bigfooters’ and we believe they are the best of the best!

What do we deliver?

Schools fund Bigfoot to deliver our wide range of specially designed workshops and courses that enable children to actively participate and understand learning in a fun and creative way. These workshops have been carefully created to support specific areas of the national curriculum, such as Literacy & PSHE, and they are in constant demand across the country.

The workshops can cater for a single class, a range of classes or an entire school and they can take place over one day, a school term or an entire academic year, providing you with regular long-term income.

We are constantly developing new projects each year and we also provide workshops in secondary schools, but predominantly our work is in the primary school sector.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking to recruit franchisees (known to schools as regional directors) who share our vision for excellence and innovation in the field of arts education and can commit to a full-time working position to grow the business successfully.

We would prefer candidates who have experience teaching, facilitating or managing creative projects within the education sector but are also willing to extend interest to those who can demonstrate an understanding of our industry and possess the qualities and abilities to successfully grow the business within their territory.

Bigfoot offers full training and support in developing your franchise business and we can promise an inspiring and challenging job that will reward you personally, professionally and financially.

Financial support

We are in a position to offer candidates interest-free or low-interest loans repayable over one or three years.
