At Chantry, we are committed to giving every child a rich, meaningful education that not only develops knowledge and skills, but also encourages curiosity, compassion, and a strong sense of global awareness. One of the powerful tools we use to support this is Lyfta, an award-winning educational platform that helps children explore the world through real-life stories and immersive experiences.

What is Lyfta?

Lyfta allows pupils to step into the lives of people from around the world through interactive 360° environments, soundscapes, and short documentary films. These engaging digital experiences introduce children to a variety of cultures, careers, and life stories—broadening their horizons beyond the classroom walls.

Each themed Storyworld helps children understand big ideas such as resilience, kindness, sustainability, and global citizenship. More importantly, it helps them connect emotionally with the people behind the stories, encouraging empathy and reflection.

Why is Lyfta important?

In today’s interconnected world, we believe it’s vital that children not only learn about global issues but also understand the human stories behind them. Through Lyfta, our pupils gain valuable insights into different ways of life, and begin to appreciate both the diversity and the common values we all share.

By using Lyfta at Chantry, we are helping children grow into thoughtful, open-minded individuals who are equipped to thrive in a diverse and ever-changing world.
