Myatt & Co

Myatt & Co is a professional-learning service for teachers, school leaders and governors. It suits people looking for continuing development across subjects and school roles, rather than a general teaching-materials library. Its broad mix of films, webinars and courses is useful; the small free selection makes the paid plans the practical choice for regular use.

Overview

The library brings together more than 500 CPD films and webinars for EYFS, primary and secondary settings, as well as SEND, inclusion and the Early Career Framework. Its subject range includes English, maths, science, art, computing, languages and other school subjects, alongside curriculum, pedagogy, leadership, subject knowledge and governance. That breadth can serve different staff within one school, though individual members will need to choose material that fits their role.

New content is added each term. Membership also includes KS3 booklets and resources, Huh Academy courses and The Governors’ Gateway, extending the service beyond video-based CPD.

Key features

Learning formats and access

Members can use films and videos, live and recorded webinars, downloadable resources and booklets, and online courses. The mobile app supports watching or listening to films and accessing webinars and recordings. The site adapts to phone and tablet browsers, and Chromecast and AirPlay are compatible, giving members several ways to view content.

Playback depends on a fast, stable internet connection and a recent version of Chrome, Firefox or Safari; outdated browsers and Internet Explorer may cause problems. That is worth considering where staff rely on older devices or inconsistent connections.

Privacy and support

Myatt & Co says it follows GDPR principles and retains personal data only as long as necessary. Its platform servers and user data, including names and email addresses, are stored in the United States. Card processing is handled by providers including Stripe, and Myatt & Co says it does not electronically store, process or transmit cardholder data on Uscreen systems or premises. Questions can be directed to [email protected] or the contact page.

Pricing

The free plan provides access to a small selection of films, making it a limited way to sample the service rather than a substantial CPD library. Individual paid plans include a 7-day free trial.

The annual plan is the fuller individual membership, particularly for people who want webinar access and the additional learning materials. Monthly is more flexible and includes the core films and resources, but gives up those stated annual-plan additions.

School subscriptions

School pricing is annual and tied to pupil and staff-and-governor limits. Small School costs £995 a year for up to 750 pupils and 25 staff and governors; Medium School is £1,495 a year for 751–1,500 pupils and up to 50 staff and governors; Large School is £1,995 a year for 1,500+ pupils and up to 70 staff and governors. Secondary tiers cost more: Small Secondary is £2,000 a year for up to 750 pupils and 50 staff and governors; Medium Secondary is £2,500 a year for 751–1,500 pupils and up to 70 staff and governors; Large Secondary is £3,000 a year for 1,500+ pupils and up to 90 staff and governors. These tiers let schools buy access for a defined group, but the seat caps matter when planning staff and governor coverage. Quantity discounts are offered, and organisations can contact Myatt & Co about group or intranet access.

Platforms

Myatt & Co is available on Android, iOS and the web. The mobile app supports on-device access to films and webinars, while the browser-based site adapts to phones and tablets. Stable connectivity and a current supported browser remain important for playback.

Who it's for

Teachers and school leaders seeking ongoing CPD across curriculum, teaching practice and leadership are the clearest fit. The breadth of age ranges and subjects makes it relevant to mixed school teams, while governance content and The Governors’ Gateway may also suit governors. It is less compelling for someone who only needs a narrow set of classroom worksheets or expects a substantial free library.

Pros and cons

• Pros: More than 500 films and webinars cover multiple phases, subjects and professional roles, giving schools a broad shared CPD resource.
• Pros: Films, webinars, resources, booklets and courses provide more than one format for professional learning.
• Pros: Android, iOS and web access, plus Chromecast and AirPlay compatibility, supports different viewing setups.
• Cons: The free plan is only a small film selection, so meaningful ongoing use requires a paid subscription.
• Cons: Annual school plans have explicit pupil and staff/governor ceilings, which may not suit larger groups without a different arrangement.
• Cons: Playback may be unreliable on outdated browsers or with unstable internet, a constraint for users with older equipment or weak connections.

Alternatives

Teacher Resource Libraries is a useful category to browse when comparing resource-library options.

Choose CommonLit instead if a free text library and CommonLit 360 curriculum for teachers and students are a closer fit than a broad CPD membership. Consider Classroom Secrets if web-based classroom resources are the priority. ISLCollective may suit someone seeking worksheet downloads with a free daily or monthly allowance, or higher limits through Plus.

OER Commons is an option for a free digital library with Open Author and group-creation tools. Pick Smithsonian Learning Lab for free access to Smithsonian digital resources. Teach Starter may fit users who want editable resources on a paid plan, while its free tier limits downloads to the free collection and provides non-editable materials.

Teachit is worth considering for a web-based service with a free tier and trial. Tes Resources may be a better fit for people seeking individually priced resources, where authors choose whether to charge and how much.

Verdict

Myatt & Co is a strong fit for educators and schools that want a wide-ranging, regularly updated CPD library with several learning formats and mobile access. Its main case is breadth across subjects, phases and staff responsibilities; look elsewhere if a small free sample is not enough, if you need targeted classroom resources instead of professional development, or if school seat caps do not fit your group.
