AQA, the UK’s largest examining body, has announced that it will exclusively endorse Nelson Thornes’ educational resources for all subjects at GCSE, AS and A2 level. So, why is this significant? This represents new territory for the educational publishing market and for us. Firstly, Nelson Thornes will be the only publisher who will receive exclusive AQA endorsement for products in all subjects at these levels. Secondly, the partnership enables us to work closely with AQA so that our resources perfectly match AQA’s specifications and, ultimately, the needs of teachers and pupils.

This success, together with our blended learning approach, which is setting us apart from our competitors, means Nelson Thornes is enjoying unprecedented growth. Unlike our competitors, our print and electronic products are totally integrated, providing teachers with easy-to-use blended learning resources, seamlessly combining print, CD ROM, offline and online.

Over the last couple of years we’ve been taking a fresh look at the ‘employment experience’. Not only have we explored and introduced new benefits, we’ve made Nelson Thornes a great place to work. It is our declared aim to become the publishing employer of choice. Cheltenham is within easy commuting distance from Oxford, Bristol and Birmingham and many of our staff do just that and have flexible working arrangements, including flexible hours and homeworking where appropriate.

We’re looking for talented individuals who’ll help us with all aspects of our impressive list of market-leading educational resources in primary, secondary and vocational sectors.
