How it works
An all-in-one spot to find supercurricular resources, with real-world and contemporary connections to the AQA Psychology and Sociology specification.
Chosen by subject specialists and structured for busy teachers, so the prep work is already done.
Find your supercurricular
A hand-curated library of films, podcasts, books, articles, and TED Talks, every one tagged to AQA Psychology and Sociology, so you can find exactly what you need for the topic you're teaching right now.
Use your Teacher Toolkit guides
Every resource comes with a structured, editable Teacher Toolkit: discussion prompts, classroom activities, recommended clips with exact timestamps, synoptic links, and a private notes section. Make it your own, then export a clean PDF with just the sections you've chosen.
Build your Thrive Library
Save the resources you use, track your AQA coverage, generate toolkits for your own discoveries, and build a library that gets more useful every year. Everything in one place: organised, searchable, and ready to come back to.

Why Thrive?
Your questions, answered.
The Thrive library is built by teachers, for teachers. We know how important contemporary and practical applications are within the AQA Psychology and Sociology specifications. We know the pain of being told about a great film or book, only for it to get lost in the ether, buried in files and folders, never to be seen again. Thrive gives you an organised collection of resources and “how to use” guides you can come back to year after year, with new resources added weekly.
Paid accounts include 10 PDF toolkit downloads per month. This resets at the start of each month. In the meantime you can still view, use, and add to your library — you just can't export to PDF until your allowance refreshes.
The resources and toolkits are specification-neutral. The Coverage Map is built for AQA Psychology and Sociology first. OCR, Eduqas, and WJEC are planned additions.
Yes — export any toolkit as a clean PDF and share it however you like. Your private notes are never included.
For students who want to go further, we recommend they get their own Thrive account for access to the Student Toolkit and My Thrive Library. Find out more →
Yes — Thrive complements your existing scheme of work. Browse by AQA topic and resource type to find exactly what fits where you are right now.
The monthly and yearly standard plans can be cancelled at any time — you won't be charged again after cancellation. Our founding member plan is £25/year and renews automatically at that same rate every year, for life, for as long as you stay subscribed. Cancel before your renewal date and you won't be charged again.
If your school has a department or whole-school package, you should already have access — check with your Head of Department.
