New School vibez, Old School Values.
Help your child's school live its values, together.
vibez is software that helps your school adopt Values-Based Education (VBE) — making it work for your whole community: children, parents, the PTA, and the school.
vibez is available first to British-curriculum international schools — UK rollout in 2027.
vibez helps your school adopt VBE — working with the school, not against it. For a school to commit, it needs its parents behind it. That's what this is for.
Parents back two things, and nothing else: that the school adopts VBE, and that the PTA runs openly so every family has an equal voice.
What is Values-Based Education?
Values-Based Education (VBE) builds a school's culture, conduct and daily life around a few explicitly agreed, actionable values — commitments developed together by staff, pupils and parents, not rules handed down. It gives the whole community a shared language for how people treat each other.
It only works when the whole community is involved — especially parents.
The everyday behaviour it changes
VBE doesn't just hang a values poster on the wall. It shifts the patterns that actually harm children day to day.
Without VBE
Bystander passivity
Watching and saying nothing; laughing along; group silence when someone is targeted.
With vibez
Active bystanders
“We stand up for each other.” Pupils step in, speak up, and support the person targeted.
Without VBE
Pressure to conform
Children afraid to speak; mockery of difference; hiding who you really are to fit in.
With vibez
Honest communication
“We keep it real.” Protected reporting, space to be yourself, no performance required.
The evidence behind it
20+ years
of research
Schools implementing VBE see consistent improvements in behaviour, attendance, relational trust and academic engagement.
49 studies
synthesised
A 2024 synthesis (Chen et al., ‘Trauma, Violence & Abuse’) found teaching bystander skills measurably reduces violence.
Longitudinal
evidence base
Prof. Terry Lovat (Newcastle University) and Neil Hawkes (VbE International) have built the long-term academic case for values-led schools.
What vibez delivers
A shared values language the whole community actually uses.
Active bystanders — not silent ones.
Reporting pathways children trust.
Children who don’t have to perform to fit in.
Measurable improvements in conduct, wellbeing and engagement.
How it happens — from a parent voice to a whole school
Change starts with parents speaking together as a VOICE — a group of parents backing one shared ask. Here's how it moves from a single voice to a school-wide commitment.
Parents form a VOICE
A VOICE is a group of parents backing one shared ask. They join and back two things: the school adopts VBE, and the PTA runs openly so every family has an equal voice.
PTA adoption
As the voice grows, the PTA adopts the open operating structure — equal voice, the same information for all members.
School rollout
With community backing in place, the school rolls out VBE across the whole community.
Values show up in how a community behaves
VBE works on the everyday patterns a school and its community can actually see — how children treat each other, and how the adults respond. The diagnostic measures those patterns so you start from evidence, not assumption.
- How children treat each other day to day
- How the school responds when they fall short
- Whether parents have a real, structured voice
