London, 4 June 2026. Magma Maths, the digital maths platform helping teachers understand student thinking in real time, has been named Breakthrough Education Company of the Year at the nEdEx School & Trust Leadership Awards 2026. The awards ceremony took place on the evening of 4 June at the DoubleTree Hilton, Stadium MK, Milton Keynes.
The award recognises companies making a demonstrable difference in education within a short space of time. Magma Maths was selected from a competitive shortlist of six finalists by an independent judging panel drawn from across the school and trust leadership community.
The nEdEx (Network for Education Excellence) School & Trust Leadership Awards celebrate outstanding leadership, innovation, and impact across the UK education sector. Magma Maths also appeared as a finalist in the Education Company of the Year category - the only company shortlisted for both awards.
“Being recognised by school and trust leaders themselves makes this award especially meaningful. We're proud of the impact we're having in classrooms across the UK, and grateful for every talented, passionate person we get to work with on our journey to improve maths attainment” - Alex Page, Managing Director at Magma Maths UK
A Growing Force in UK Education

In 2026 alone, Magma Maths celebrated a triple win at BETT, one of the world's leading education technology events, and was shortlisted in three categories at the MAT Excellence Awards to be announced in June, including Company of the Year, Product of the Year, and the Trust Collaboration Award, recognising its partnership with Woodlands Academy Trust. The nEdEx Breakthrough Education Company of the Year win adds to a growing track record of sector recognition built on real impact.
The company's ambition extends beyond awards. Backed by a $40 million Series A investment from Five Elms Capital, Magma Maths is scaling its platform, expanding its team, and developing best in class AI-powered learning tools, with the UK and Ireland at the centre of its international growth strategy.
