  19. Case Study: Stockley Academy “We chose LEGO Education to fulfil our vision for the classroom of the future because they understood the importance of inclusion, creative thinking and cross-curricular project work. I am delighted that we are able to work with such an organisation, which produces creative, high quality and sophisticated products for children of all ages and abilities.”Aftab Ahmed, Director of ICT
