The Company

The Key is the country's most trusted provider of knowledge and know-how to education leaders determined to make a difference. We provide authoritative, up-to-the-minute sector intelligence, tools, services, and resources that give leaders the knowledge to act.

• Produce content in varied forms, according to our content roadmap, and in response to questions from school leaders, following agreed deadlines on time and in full.
• Enhance your specialised sector knowledge, and use this knowledge to make sure content is kept up to date, as well as to spot opportunities to create new resources.
• Respond to incoming questions from our members, and use these insights into what education leaders need to determine when to write new content.
• Use qualitative and quantitative feedback and insights (including user research) to adapt our content, so we can provide the most practical and actionable information and resources possible.
