Our culture

Our mission is to help every child reach their potential.
We aim to do this by making learning and exam preparation simple for families and giving them everything they need to achieve their goals. -
Ambitious: We’re ambitious about the impact we can have. We aim high and we don’t settle.
Focused: We get things done. Even when things get tough, we stay committed and see it through.
Multipliers: We bring energy to what we do. We are low-ego, high-impact solution finders who challenge and lift those around us to amplify results.
Bold: We create opportunities and take smart risks. We don’t wait to be told what to do: we thrive on freedom and responsibility.

Juliette
Head of Product
I believe that education is where we can make the biggest impact on the future of our children, and what better way to do this than to re-think how our children learn? I'm making a difference to thousands of young people every day and doing it with a team of enthusiastic, supportive, driven and fun people.

Sonya
Senior Digital Learning Designer
The people I work with are some of my favourite people. I think it'd be difficult to find a funnier, smarter or more lovely group than the Education team. I also love making a positive difference in people's lives. It warms my heart every time we receive effusive feedback from a parent or teacher!
