Aurora Fairway School recently welcomed special visitors, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of St Ives. They took a tour of the school to see the progress that’s been made since opening in 2022 and were really impressed by the work we do to support young people with complex learning needs.

I was pleased to see that in the King’s Speech and Children’s Wellbeing Bill there appears to be a renewed focus on Children and Education from the new Labour Government, this is very different from the King’s Speech of the previous Conservative Government that did not have a single piece of proposed legislation coming from the Department of Education. The Opportunities Mission and subsequent Children’s Wellbeing Bill and Skills England Bill certainly seem to signify that Children and Education are a serious priority for Labour, this can only be a positive for the younger generations, their families and the people working tirelessly in the sector.
This year we were assessed independently from Octopus Group, our financial backer, and are incredibly proud to have scored 110.6 - way above the 80 point threshold required for certification. In fact our score puts us in the top 15% of all certified companies!
It’s unusual to meet the 80 point target on first assessment and globally less than 1% of companies meet the threshold for B Corp certification, so it’s a huge achievement.
But what is a B Corp and why is becoming one important?
