Myatt & Co

Overview

The library brings together more than 500 CPD films and webinars for EYFS, primary and secondary education, as well as SEND, inclusion and the Early Career Framework. Coverage spans curriculum, pedagogy, leadership, subject knowledge and governance, with materials in subjects including English, maths, science, history, computing, art and languages. That breadth can serve a school with varied development needs, though individual members will get most from it when they can identify content relevant to their role.

New material 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. Formats include downloadable resources, booklets and online courses alongside films and webinars.

Key features

Learning and playback

The mobile app lets members watch or listen to films and access live webinars and recordings. The website adapts to phone and tablet browsers, and Chromecast and AirPlay are compatible. This gives members several ways to reach sessions, although playback depends on a fast, stable connection and a recent Chrome, Firefox or Safari browser; outdated browsers and Internet Explorer may cause problems.

School access and privacy

School subscriptions use pupil and staff or governor bands, with quantity discounts. Organisations can contact Myatt & Co about group or intranet access, which may suit larger or more structured deployments. The company says it follows GDPR principles and retains personal data only as long as necessary, but platform servers and user data, including names and email addresses, are in the United States. Card processing is handled by third-party providers including Stripe; Myatt & Co says it does not electronically store, process or transmit cardholder data on Uscreen systems or premises.

Pricing

The free plan costs £0.00 and gives access to a small selection of films. It is useful for sampling the service, but not a substitute for the full library or broader membership content.

Monthly costs £22.00 per month, including VAT, and includes all films, all resources and the mobile app, with a 7-day free trial and cancellation at any time. It is the more flexible individual option, but does not include the webinars and recordings or the named additional learning resources included with Annual.

Annual costs £220.00 per year, including VAT, with two months free. It includes all films and resources, webinars and recordings, KS3 booklets and resources, Huh Academy courses and the mobile app, plus a 7-day trial. For someone planning to use the service throughout the year, it combines the broader individual package with a lower effective monthly cost than paying monthly.

School plans are billed yearly: Small School is £995.00 for up to 750 pupils and 25 staff and governors; Medium School is £1,495.00 for 751–1,500 pupils and up to 50 staff and governors; Large School is £1,995.00 for 1,500+ pupils and up to 70 staff and governors. Secondary plans cost £2,000.00 for up to 750 pupils and 50 staff and governors, £2,500.00 for 751–1,500 pupils and up to 70 staff and governors, and £3,000.00 for 1,500+ pupils and up to 90 staff and governors. These tiers make group access available at set school sizes, but the pupil and seat caps matter when choosing a band. Organisations needing access beyond these arrangements can discuss custom pricing and group or intranet access.

Platforms

Myatt & Co is available on Android, iOS and the web. App access is useful for watching or listening on a device, while browser access supports phone and tablet screens as well as Chromecast and AirPlay playback.

Who it's for

Teachers and school leaders seeking continuing CPD across curriculum, pedagogy and leadership are the clearest fit, particularly those who will use several formats rather than only browse films. The range of age phases and subjects may also help schools support staff with varied responsibilities. It is less compelling for someone who needs only occasional free materials or whose priority is a narrowly defined resource collection.

Pros and cons

• Broad CPD coverage: More than 500 films and webinars span phases, subjects and roles, making the library relevant beyond a single department.
• More than video: Webinars, recordings, downloadable resources, booklets and courses give members different ways to learn and apply material.
• Flexible device access: Android, iOS and web access, with Chromecast and AirPlay compatibility, supports viewing across devices.
• Limited free access: The free tier is only a small selection of films, so meaningful ongoing use requires a paid plan.
• Playback and data considerations: Reliable streaming calls for a stable connection and a current supported browser, and user data is stored on servers in the United States.

Alternatives

Teacher Resource Libraries is a broader category to browse if you want to compare resource services before choosing.

Choose CommonLit instead if free text-library and CommonLit 360 curriculum access for teachers and students is the priority. Classroom Secrets is another option to compare for classroom resources. Teach Starter may suit readers looking for downloadable teaching resources, while Teachit is an alternative teaching resource service. Consider OER Commons if you want a free digital library with Open Author and groups, or Smithsonian Learning Lab for free access to Smithsonian digital resources. Tes Resources offers free and individually priced resources, while PBS LearningMedia provides free PreK–12 educator and student access with an account.

Verdict

Myatt & Co is a strong fit for educators and schools that want ongoing professional learning across multiple subjects, phases and leadership responsibilities. Its breadth, additional resources and mobile access justify the subscription for regular users; look elsewhere if you need only free resources or occasional, narrow-topic materials.
