Home>Story and Purpose

At 6B, we believe education deserves better technology — and better partners. Founded in 2014, we set out to change the way digital transformation is delivered in schools, colleges, and universities: no jargon, no bloat, just clear, purposeful work that improves learning.

We’re here to support education providers, edtech innovators, and the wider public sector in tackling complexity with clarity — and building solutions that actually work, for the people who need them most.

What We Do

We help education organisations plan, design, build, and support digital systems that make a difference. From national-scale platforms to local integrations, we engineer solutions that support better learning experiences, stronger outcomes, and smarter services.

We combine strategic consultancy with hands-on delivery across:

Our clients include schools, MATs, colleges, universities, edtech scaleups, and national education bodies — organisations that share our ambition for better, faster, and more connected learning.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be the trusted digital partner for organisations seeking to create meaningful change — in education and beyond.

We build solutions that are technically excellent and human-centred. We build partnerships based on honesty and trust. And we build teams who are passionate about delivering work that matters.

Our vision is twofold:
To build technology that enables better learning outcomes.
And to build people and teams beyond what they imagined possible.

How We Work

We work differently from traditional consultancies. We’re agile but structured, fast but rigorous, and focused on relationships as much as results. Our teams are compact, highly skilled, and supported to deliver their best work — without unnecessary complexity or overhead.

At every stage — from discovery to deployment — we act as a partner, not a supplier. We collaborate with academic, operational, and technical stakeholders to ensure everything we build is grounded in reality, aligned with education standards, and capable of scaling in diverse learning environments.

Our diverse team of education technology specialists at 6B are united by a shared commitment to our values and our mission to have a positive impact.
