About Sprint Education

Why we do what we do.

We are UK's leading education communication agency and has been trading since 2007. We provide communication and strategic services to educational suppliers, government organisations, exam boards, universities, and other educational bodies. As part of our strategies we send, email, postal, and conduct social media communications to school staff on behalf of our partners. These communications always offer education-focused offers, product launches, cutting-edge training and workshops, curriculum updates, innovative education software, notifications from exam boards and universities, Ofsted support services, and more.



Meet our partners

We work with some of the most important education organisations in the UK.

Education Businesses

We select the education businesses that we partner with very carefully. Specifically their communications must be relevant to you and your role(s) of responsibility, relevant to the type of school (its location, school type, age range etc.) and meet a particular educational need and have a positive impact on the teaching and learning that takes place.
