About EducationScape
What education needs to investigate what matters, inform what works, and inspire what’s next.
Who we are

Investigate, Inform, Inspire
At the heart of EducationScape lies a simple but powerful philosophy to investigate what matters, inform what works, and inspire what’s next.
These three pillars shape everything we do, from our fearless journalism and evidence-led events to our professional development and global collaborations.
They represent our commitment to accountability, knowledge, and progress – values that connect every part of our organisation.
Together, they ensure that EducationScape continues to challenge, support, and celebrate the education community in the UK and around the world.
Investigate
Through our award-winning publications, Schools Week and FE Week, we deliver fearless, independent journalism that holds education to account and shines a light on what matters most. Our reporting goes beyond headlines uncovering the stories, insights, and challenges that shape the future of teaching, learning, and policy. With integrity at our core, we investigate with purpose, giving educators the clarity and confidence to act.
Inform
We inform through evidence, expertise, and experience helping educators and organisations make informed decisions that drive real progress. From data-driven journalism to professional development and sector-leading events, our work provides reliable, impartial insight into the forces shaping education today. Whether it’s policy reform, leadership development, or innovation in practice, we help the sector understand what works and why it matters.
Inspire
We inspire through connection, creativity, and collaboration. Across our global events, including the Festival of Education and the Apprenticeship & Training Conference and through our professional learning and recruitment platforms, we celebrate progress and share ideas that spark change. By bringing together educators, leaders, and innovators, we create opportunities that motivate individuals and strengthen the sector as a whole.
