RM plc is a UK-listed (LSE: RM.) education technology company headquartered at Milton Park, Abingdon, with a 52-year operating history and a workforce of 1,001-5,000 employees. The company operates three integrated divisions: RM Assessment (cloud-based end-to-end digital assessment delivered via the RM Ava platform, encompassing test creation, delivery, marking, results, remote proctoring, AI Marking, adaptive comparative judgement via RM Compare, and collusion/malpractice detection via RM Echo), RM Technology (school IT services, connectivity, hardware, devices, and software including RM Unify single sign-on, RM Safetynet web filtering, RM Easimaths, and Community Connect 5 user/device management), and RM Resources (curriculum-aligned learning materials distributed via TTS Group).

Underlying technology centres on the RM Ava assessment platform, which integrates AI-driven automated marking, comparative judgement, and content analysis across the full assessment lifecycle.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales for large government and institutional deals, supported by content marketing (blogs, newsletter), events and webinars, and direct e-commerce for mid-market school IT buyers.
