Our Story

Meeting People Where They Are

Growing Words Learning CIC is a Community Interest Company built around a simple belief: language and literacy should never be limited by age, background or academic history. We work with individuals, families, schools, libraries, universities, local authorities and community organisations to build confidence through language, whether that’s in person, online, or a mix of both. Alongside our learning programmes, we operate RBKCL Publishing, producing educational books and resources that support the same mission of accessible language development.

Our Vision

A Future Without Barriers

A future where every person, regardless of age, background or academic starting point, has the confidence and support to develop their language and literacy skills.

Our Mission

Flexible, Inclusive Learning

To provide flexible, inclusive learning opportunities that remove barriers to language development, through sessions, presentations and books that meet people exactly where they are.

Educational Philosophy

Learning Built Around People, Not Prerequisites

We design every session, presentation and publication around participation rather than academic gatekeeping. That means no entry requirements, no age restrictions, and delivery formats that adapt to the people in the room, whether that’s a family at home, a classroom, a library audience, or a group joining remotely.

  • Participation-led: learning happens by doing, not by testing.
  • No prerequisites: open to complete beginners and confident learners alike.
  • Adaptable delivery: in-person, digital and hybrid formats.
  • Community-rooted: built alongside the schools, libraries and families we serve.
Community Impact

Bringing Learning Into the Community

Rather than keeping language learning behind institutional walls, we work directly alongside schools, libraries, universities, local authorities and community groups, bringing sessions, presentations and books to the places people already gather. Every programme is designed to build lasting confidence, not just a one-off event.
