We are proud that KMEBP has won plaudits from four national bodies this year:

- In March we achieved Approved Provider Status from the National Mentoring and Befriending Foundation who thanked us for our 'highly valued commitment to quality'

- In April, our Investors in People Review saw 'a culture where the highest professional standards can flourish'.

- In July, a study visit from Ofsted concluded that our MicroSociety programme 'provides pupils with very good learning experiences'

- In September, the assessors' panel for the Award for Education Business Excellence described us as 'fantastic and inspiring'.

The Award is run by the Institute for Education Business Excellence and accredits organisations to the Department for Children, Schools and Families' National Standard for Education Business Partnership Organisations. It recognises the continued efforts and high standards we achieve in our ongoing work connecting education and the world of work for the benefit of young people in the area. KMEBP is the first organisation in London to achieve the award.
