In celebration of International Day of Education, we are reflecting on our commitment to supporting learners at every stage—from schools and colleges to universities.

We believe in a fair right to education for all and have set this as one of our core objectives both as a practice and with our social value initiatives.

This objective remains at the heart of our practice and drives not only our social value initiatives but also our culture of learning.

We are dedicated to inspiring future generations, providing better opportunities for those from disadvantaged backgrounds and supporting the continuous development of our colleagues through initiatives that foster growth, learning and opportunity.

Through apprenticeships, graduate schemes, work experience placements and career days, we strive to break down barriers and create inclusive, accessible communities.

With decades of experience, we have delivered a wide variety of schools and colleges, including nursery and early years, primary and secondary schools, sixth form colleges, further education facilities, universities, special education needs and disabilities (SEND) schools, free schools and academies.
