Supporting Education Group is the leading education services platform in the UK working with schools, learners, multi‑academy trusts, local authorities, nurseries and government departments to help solve the biggest human capital challenges facing the sector. Our goal is to empower students, educators, schools and governments with technology, expertise and resources to ensure a high‑quality education for all. The group is shaped into four practices covering qualifications and training, recruitment and supply, professional services and SEND and inclusion with a strong passion and collective purpose to make a positive impact on the education sector.
