GCSE Results Day | The story behind Kumon
Did you know that Kumon began with one father wanting to help his son? ๐
In 1954, Toru Kumon was a high school maths teacher when his wife became concerned about their son Takeshiโs maths test results. Toru decided to create his own maths worksheets for Takeshi, focusing on building his calculation skills and allowing him to study independently, little by little, every day.
Toru believed that children could develop their abilities by learning independently and progressing at a level appropriate for them.
The results were remarkable. Takeshi studied the materials his father created for around 30 minutes each day and, by just a few months into sixth grade, had reached differential and integral calculus.
Those original handwritten worksheets became the prototype for todayโs Kumon worksheets. What started as one fatherโs way of helping his son eventually became a method that has helped millions of students around the world.
๐ And todayโฆ
To every student receiving their GCSE results:
Whatever your grades, be proud of the work, perseverance and effort that brought you here.
Your results are one milestone โ not the limit of your potential.
Keep learning. Keep challenging yourself. Keep discovering what you are capable of.
Just as Toru Kumon believed, the ability to learn independently can open doors to what comes next.
๐Congratulations to everyone receiving their results today. We wish you every success in your next chapter.

๐ Student Spotlight โ Brij
This year marks an incredible 10 years of Brijโs Kumon journey! ๐ He started Kumon at just 5 years old and is now preparing to start Year 11.
Brij has been a big part of my Kumon journey and it has been a privilege to watch him progress over the years. His commitment to studying every day and his determination to keep moving forward have helped him reach the amazing achievement of now studying three years ahead of his school year.
Brijโs progress has also been a benchmark I have used with other students to demonstrate the importance of finding their just-right starting point. His journey is a wonderful example of how, with the right level of challenge and consistent daily study, children can build their skills and progress to work far beyond their school year.
๐ 10 years of commitment. 3 years ahead. What an achievement!
I am incredibly proud of you, Brij, and so grateful to have been part of your journey. I canโt wait to see what the next chapter brings! ๐๐

๐ A Level Results Day | Thursday 13 August
Today we celebrate all the students receiving their A-level results. ๐
Whatever your results, take a moment to recognise the hard work, perseverance and dedication that brought you to this point. Your results are an important milestone, but they are not a measure of your potential or the person you can become.
This is something that sits at the heart of Toru Kumonโs philosophy. He believed that children should develop the ability to learn independently, discover their own potential and become confident in tackling new challenges for themselves.
At Kumon, we see learning as much more than achieving a particular grade. Itโs about developing the confidence, independence, perseverance and self-learning skills that can support students throughout their education and into adult life.
โจ So whatever your results today, be proud of how far youโve come.
Your next chapter is waiting โ and your future is full of possibilities. ๐๐
Wishing every student receiving their results today the very best for whatever comes next.

๐ Motivational Monday
Sometimes reaching our goals means stretching a little further than we thought we could.
Just like reaching for that apple, children are constantly learning, growing and discovering what they are capable of. ๐
At Kumon, we encourage children to take small, consistent steps, building their skills and confidence along the way. Every worksheet completed, every challenge overcome and every new skill mastered brings them one step closer to reaching their full potential.
It isnโt about being perfect or getting there quickly. Itโs about continuing to reach, keep trying and believing that you can.
Because with consistency, confidence grows. ๐
Keep reaching. Keep learning. Keep growing. ๐

๐ Shasminyโs Kumon Journey
Shasminy began her Kumon journey while she was in Reception, and it has been a privilege to watch her grow into the confident, hardworking and independent young lady she is today.
From the very beginning, Shasminy has shown an exceptional commitment to her learning. She studies every day with determination and approaches each new topic with a positive attitude, always striving to achieve the very best results. Her perseverance and dedication have enabled her to make outstanding progress throughout her Kumon journey. As she prepares to start Year 7 in September, Shasminy leaves primary school with an excellent academic foundation, outstanding study skills and the confidence to embrace the exciting challenges ahead. I have no doubt that she will continue to achieve amazing things throughout secondary school and beyond.
๐ Well done, Shasminy. It has been a pleasure to be part of your learning journey, and I am incredibly proud of everything you have achieved.
