What we’ve achieved
In short: not enough. We won’t rest until… well, we probably won’t rest. We’re too busy broadening our reach, widening access, and improving educational experiences and opportunities for everyone.
Having said that, we’re delighted to have won recognition for our work so far.
With awards for our company growth, our business performance, our values and our impact on society, we seem to be doing something right. Now we just need to do more of it, and better.
