School Improvement

To us, school improvement is always a reciprocal arrangement. Even the schools with the greatest challenges have skills and expertise that need to be recognised and harnessed for the greater good.

Our schools will have access to shared services provided by our trust. Where schools are not already “good” or “outstanding” we will facilitate a high quality, bespoke package of support.

Development and Growth

We are open to suitable proposals that may arise via the Regional Director or Local Authorities. The preferred geographical location is Kent, East Sussex and South East London.

Where we differ from many trusts is that we seek to help support individual schools to grow and develop their own good practice. A key feature of our work is the mentoring and development of leadership teams to enable them to focus and act upon things effectively and at the right time.

We develop existing teams of teachers and support staff through high quality professional development. It is noticeable that in all the schools we have developed, the majority of the staff who were present when the school fell into crisis are still there at the point when the school emerges from its difficulties. This only occurs when the organisation values the individual and recognises that competence is often relative to the level of high quality professional development received and acted upon.
