We're pleased to announce the head office marketing team has been named as finalist in the 2014 Franchise Marketing Awards. The team are shortlisted in the main category of ‘Best Overall Marketing Campaign.’ The Franchise Marketing Awards (FMA) are well-renowned for rewarding marketing excellence in the franchise industry and judges look for a clearly developed theme that has been applied over a period of time.

The winner will be announced on the 14th March at Olympia and we will keep you posted on the results. Well done to all involved.

The network delivered 128% MORE curricular time lessons in January than the same time last year! Whilst this is fantastic news you must ensure that the quality of your provision is high quality and that both you and the school are clear on the expected impact of your provision.
