Equal Education

Who we are

The Organisation 

Equal Education is a social enterprise with the aim of improving educational outcomes for the most underachieving students in our society - those who are in our care system and those with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). We believe by working with the most underachieving we can lift society as a whole. 

As a team, we are passionate about our cause. We are problem solvers who have turned our attention to being ambitious about solving a complex and demanding social problem, using technical innovation to underpin social innovation. We work with hundreds of qualified teachers to provide academic, subject specialised and individual tutoring for children who are looked after and those with SEND. 

Our success relies upon a strong operating foundation and people who are motivated by a strong desire to make an impact in the lives of those whose current needs are not being met by the education system. 

As a growing organisation, we have ambitious plans for the future. We work throughout England and Wales, and are poised to create the world’s largest education programme for children in care in the West Midlands, UK. We propose to work with thousands of children over the coming 6 years.

Our culture and values

Our Vision

We want to see a society where no young person is disadvantaged, sidelined or disempowered by the circumstances of their upbringing. Instead, we want to see under-resourced children accessing the same opportunity and carrying the same aspiration as everyone else, so that they can fulfil their potential and enrich and advance our world.

How are we doing this?

Building a different kind of teaching community, one made up of resourceful, resilient, caring qualified tutors, who are driven by the profound impact they can have on young lives.

• Providing tailored tuition programmes, online and in-person, working closely with parents/carers/teachers and support workers.

• Empowering tutors to provide effective, empathetic, life-changing tuition to learners and advocating for their needs through strong multi-agency working.

• Investigating what works through impact monitoring and evaluation, sharing lessons across the education sector and partnering with mission-aligned organisations to increase the impact of our programmes.
