How we work

As an edtech organisation it is important for us to stay current. We recognise the world of work is changing and want to meet the changing needs of our members and of our people.

We are on a journey to transform how we do things and are working towards being a flexible organisation with our staff working from a range of locations and in a range of ways. We have friendly, open plan, modern offices in central Bristol, Manchester, Harwell (Oxford) and London.
