Where PPA Buddy Lives: Our Private Community on Skool

PPA Buddy is hosted inside a private Skool community – think staffroom energy without the noise of social media.

When you choose a plan below, you’ll be taken to Skool to complete your checkout and manage your membership. Skool processes payments in US dollars, so we’ve included the approximate cost in pounds to keep things simple.

PPA Buddy is a UK-based business and everything inside the community is built for UK schools – from our planning templates and AI prompts to our training on workload, wellbeing and inspection-ready practice. All resources are grounded in current UK education frameworks, DfE guidance and UK curriculum expectations, so you’re never wading through US-centric examples.

Getting started is simple: explore for free, then upgrade as needed for even more support. No contracts, no hassle – just choose what fits you:
