Espresso is moving to ClickView: everything you need to know

Espresso has a new home on ClickView. We’ve partnered with Discovery Education to keep Espresso available to UK primary schools. Espresso videos and resources are available on ClickView, so you can continue using the content you know and love.

We know you’ll have questions. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and what’s coming next.

What’s happening to the UK Espresso service?

The UK Espresso service is transitioning. Discovery Education has chosen to partner with ClickView to give Espresso learning resources a long-term home, selecting ClickView for its track record of providing high-quality, curriculum-aligned videos across all subjects and year groups, and its successful transition of Tigtag and Twig in 2024.

What happens to my Espresso learning resources?

They’re coming with you. Espresso videos and resources are moving into a dedicated Espresso Hub on ClickView, organised by year group and curriculum topic, from early years through to the end of primary.

What will the Espresso Hub look like on ClickView?

The Espresso Hub is designed to feel familiar and intuitive, with content still grouped by year group and curriculum topic, making it easy to pick up right where you left off.

When can I access the Espresso Hub?

The Espresso Hub will be ready on ClickView for the new school year. If you register here, you can get early access to ClickView ahead of your renewal date at no additional cost.

What do I get as an Espresso customer?

By renewing, you’ll get access to Espresso videos and resources in a dedicated Espresso Hub (including News and Topical) plus full access to ClickView:

• Thousands of curriculum-aligned videos across every subject and year group, from hundreds of providers, including Tigtag and Twig
• Movies + TV, a curated collection of educationally relevant movies, documentaries, and TV series, perfect for studied texts or an end-of-term treat
• Interactive quizzes with embedded questions to promote active learning
• Data insights to track pupil engagement and identify gaps in understanding

Will my existing Espresso links still work?

Yes, your existing Espresso links to videos and resources will redirect to the right content on ClickView once the Espresso service transitions. You won’t need to update any bookmarks; everything will just continue to work. During any side-by-side access period, your existing links will continue to go to Espresso as usual.

What if my school’s renewal date isn’t until later in the year?

No problem. You can renew now and get side-by-side access to both Espresso and ClickView until your renewal date. You won’t be charged until your Espresso renewal date.

How much does it cost to renew?

To make the switch as seamless as possible, ClickView will honour your current Espresso price. That means continued access to all your favourite Espresso videos and resources, plus full access to ClickView, at no additional cost.

How do I renew?

Contact us, call (0)333 207 6595, or email espresso@clickvieweducation.com, and our team will walk you through the renewal process.

Does my school already have access to ClickView?

If your school has renewed with ClickView, you’ll have side-by-side access to both Espresso and ClickView until the Espresso website winds down. Check with your administrator to find out if your school has renewed and whether you can now sign in via ClickView to access your videos and resources.
