12/11/2010
Kumon Educational - which provides supplementary education programmes in English and maths - was one of 12 sponsors at the Education Business Awards, held this year at Arsenal Football Club's Emirates Stadium. Kumon exhibited at the event and sponsored awards in the Outstanding Academy, Academy Development and Academy Partnership categories.
The supplementary provider of English and maths programmes build independent learners through a unique Instruction method that encourages self-learning. Ambition and commitment to education are integral to the company's ethos and with similar values, the Education Business Awards are a fitting brand for Kumon to sponsor.
Evelyn Grace Academy, Brixton received the Academy Development Accolade, the Manchester Academy, Moss Side won the Outstanding Academy Award and in the Academy Partnership Category, Bacon's College London was successful.
David Cowan, General Manager, Kumon Educational said: "In their respective fields, the winners and nominees have achieved excellent results and congratulations to all those schools present. The awards and ultimately, the winners, demonstrate how the strength of teaching, dedicated management staff and sound investment, have delivered superior learning environments."
David continues: "Our decision to sponsor these awards is closely linked with the Kumon in Schools Package (KIS). KIS is designed to provide select schools across the UK with tailored, and potentially subsidised, curricular resources which encompass parts of the Kumon English and maths programme."
Kumon is instructed mainly through non-commercial centres and can be studied by children of all ages. The programme goal is to develop an advanced study level and KIS in particular, is focused on developing independent learners. Over time, students also develop greater confidence and many become more organised too.
