commitment to their children’s Kumon studies and growth. Established for almost 60 years and with more than 600 centres in the UK and Ireland, Kumon is one of the leading national after-school education providers, offering both maths and English study programmes for children of all ages and abilities. Kumon exists to provide as many children as possible the opportunity to self-learn by offering a unique and individualised study programme that is tailored to the abilities of each child.

Through Kumon’s unique method, children are able to reach an advanced level of study, often far beyond their school curriculum. The independent study skills they develop help them to approach new work, both at Kumon and at school, with confidence and to tackle any challenges they may face in life head on. Students also develop a ‘can do’ attitude, which they can apply to everything they do.

Families from across South Wales gathered to honour phenomenal success at their annual awards.

The Kumon Advanced Study Honour Roll event, on Saturday, 20 May 2023 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, celebrated over 250 students, among them collecting over 320 individual achievement awards, that mark them reaching advanced levels of achievement in maths and English. Having hosted the first night of global superstar, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour earlier that week, the stadium’s President’s Suite hosted Kumon families from across Cardiff and South Wales.
