Were here to banish the idea that you need a certain kind of background to succeed.
To break the cycle of social inequality from one generation to the next. And to give
everyone whoever they are, wherever they're from the skills and self-belief to get
the future they want.

education is far from guaranteed and educational systems have become complex to
navigate. Our growing family of like-minded educational institutions offers learners a
genuine choice between different styles of learning, centred on the needs of each
individual. People and businesses can access a broad range of academic,
vocational, professional and technical education and qualifications that best suits
their needs including retraining and upskilling throughout their lives.
We share a passion: to provide excellent, accessible, supportive and flexible
education that creates better life chances from enhanced career outcomes to
improved health and wellbeing.
Our work has impact. It changes lives, builds communities, strengthens society and
breaks down barriers to brilliance. And we will keep working until the playing field is
level for everyone.
