Celebrating 10 Years of Uniform Education: A Journey of Growth and Giving Back to Our Schools and Communities.

Celebrating 10 Years of Uniform Education: A Journey of Growth and Giving Back to Our Schools and Communities.

Uniform Education opened its doors in April 2015 with a simple goal: to provide our schools across London and the Home Counties with excellent staff, people who care really care about the children they teach and support. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of working with over 800 schools and placing more than 2,500 candidates. Over the past 10 years, we’ve grown, built lasting relationships, and become the agency of choice for many schools.

Our Growth and Success

When we started, we knew there was a need for a staffing agency that understood the challenges schools face. We worked hard to create solutions that would help schools find the right staff quickly and efficiently. Here’s how we’ve been able to support schools over the years:

  • A Wide Range of Candidates: We make sure we have candidates with different skills and experience so that schools can find the best person for each job.

  • Flexible Options: Whether schools need staff for a day, a term, or longer, we offer flexible solutions to meet their needs.

  • Ongoing Support: We’re always there to support schools and candidates, making sure things run smoothly for everyone involved.

As a result of this hard work, many schools trust us to be their go-to staffing agency year after year. We’re proud of the strong relationships we’ve built and the impact we’ve had on the schools we work with.

What Our Directors Have to Say

Dan Grace "Looking back on our journey, we’re just incredibly proud of what we've built. We love helping schools, particularly SEND schools, because they are at the heart of everything we do. It’s been so rewarding to watch the team grow and develop as we continue to support the amazing work happening in schools across London and the Home Counties."

David Owen "What really excites me about our journey is the opportunity to work with schools that share our passion for making a difference. We’ve built a winning team that truly understands the value of what we do, and we’re committed to continuing that into the future. We’re thrilled to be part of something that’s having such a positive impact."

Laura Myers, "I’ve loved seeing how far we’ve come. What we do is more than just a job—it’s about making a difference in the lives of students and educators. We’re passionate about working with schools that share our values, and it’s been amazing to build a team that’s just as dedicated to the cause. Helping SEND schools is at the heart of everything we do, and that passion drives us every day."

Giving Back to Our Community

At Uniform Education, we believe in the importance of giving back to the community. We want to make sure that our success also benefits others. Over the years, we’ve started a few programs to support those in need:

  • Supporting Schools with Sports Kits: We understand that sports play a key role in student development. That’s why we’ve been able to provide schools with football kits and sports equipment to help students get the most out of their extracurricular activities.

  • Monthly Donations to a Hertfordshire Food Bank: Every month, we give a donation to the Food Bank in Hertfordshire. This helps provide food and essentials to local families who need support.

  • Donating 5% of Our Turnover to School + Community Initiatives: We commit to giving back at least 5% of our turnover each year to different community projects. This ensures we’re doing our part to help those in need.

Looking to the Future

As we look back on the last 10 years, we’re grateful for the journey and excited for what’s to come. We’ve learned a lot, built strong relationships, and made a positive impact in our community. Our focus will always be on providing the best service to schools and continuing to support those around us.

Dan Grace concludes, "We’ve always loved what we do, and that’s what has made this journey so special. We’re excited to continue supporting schools, building our incredible team, and growing our impact over the next decade."

Here’s to many more years of working together, growing together, and giving back.

Happy Birthday Uniform Education :)
