Rocksteady Music School has earned further recognition from The Financial Times, securing its second growth accolade of the 2024/25 academic year.
Rocksteady has again featured in the FT’s list of Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies (FT1000). The FT1000 list, compiled alongside Statista, ranks 1,000 companies in Europe with the highest percentage growth in revenues between 2020-2023.
This comes just five months after the UK-based music education provider was announced by The Financial Times as Europe’s number one business for long-term growth in the Education and Social Care category. The Long-term Growth list ranked Europe’s top 300 companies for their performance over a ten-year period.
Scott Monks, CEO at Rocksteady, says: “This has already been a year of high notes for Rocksteady! We are now teaching more children, partnering with more primary schools, employing more full-time musicians, and, through our in-house Foundation, reaching more disadvantaged children across the country than ever before.
"These accolades in The Financial Times demonstrate Rocksteady's sustained and accelerating growth over the past decade. As a ‘for profit, for good’ company, this growth is driven by a commitment to improving children’s lives and removing barriers to music for as many children as possible. It’s a testament to the unwavering dedication and drive of Rocksteady’s staff and supporters, and I’m truly proud to work alongside such a passionate team of people.”
David Forbes, Partner at Vespa Capital, commented: “Rocksteady’s commendable growth is testament to the outstanding work carried out on a daily-basis by both the musicians deployed in schools throughout the country and the wider team. The business is delivering on its mission to improve the quality and consistency of music education delivered to young children, enabled by market leading ed-tech platform, and generating tangible positive social impact across the core business and the Foundation.
