About us
Who we are
Get Further exists to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds in further education to secure gateway English and maths qualifications.
We do this because one in three students leave school without a standard pass (grade 4 or above) in GCSE English and maths. This figure rises to over one in two for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.Without these qualifications, young people are locked out of many opportunities for further study, training and employment, and are more likely to drop out of education altogether.
Through our GCSE Resit Tuition Programme, students receive small-group tuition from trained, subject-specialist tutors to complement their classroom study. This tailored support is vital for helping them gain the confidence and knowledge needed to pass their GCSEs, reach their potential and progress to higher level courses and rewarding career paths.
Our culture and values
Our central team comprises some 26 members, all motivated to reduce educational disadvantage and ensure young people and adult learners get the gateway qualifications they need to succeed. We currently employ over 80 active tutors with the aim to increase this over the year. Our main office is in Kings Cross, London, although we also have team members based in Yorkshire, Norwich and elsewhere . We share our office with Axiom Maths. We promote a supportive, collaborative, and positive working environment.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are passionate about diversity and inclusion and strongly encourage applications from people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds. We are committed to ensuring that all applicants are treated fairly and with respect, irrespective of their actual or assumed background including gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, race (including colour, nationality and ethnic origin), religion/belief or disability.
