That Delivers Results
Meeting your individual needs.
Where clarity
meets strategy
Sometimes, what you really need is someone who can zoom out, zoom in, and just... make things make sense. Whether you're a school leader juggling 97 improvement plans, a local authority firefighting SEND reform, or a trust designing its 5-year strategy—we’re here to help.
Our consultancy offer is wide-ranging, flexible, and always grounded in what works. No five-point plans laminated on the wall and forgotten by Thursday. Just honest, intelligent, sleeves-rolled-up support.
What we can do
Strategy &
Systems
Strategic Planning & Development
Whether it’s a new trust vision, a school improvement strategy, or a roadmap for inclusion, we help shape the big picture without losing the plot. We balance vision with reality—because PowerPoints are easy, but implementation is where the magic happens.
Developing New Systems & Processes
Whether you’re setting up new behaviour pathways, overhauling SEND referrals, introducing inclusion panels or redesigning CPD from scratch—we’ll help you build systems that actually work. No more sticky notes. Just scalable, sensible processes that save time and brains.
External Adviser to Schools & Trusts
We act as independent professionals providing external insight on school performance, leadership decisions, governance, improvement planning and more. Think of us as the wise owl in your SLT WhatsApp group (but with fewer gifs and more impact).
Interpreting Guidance, Law & Policy
If you've ever read a DfE update and immediately needed a nap, you’re not alone. We translate legalese and statutory guidance into real-world action steps, tailored to your setting. Think of us as your live-action FAQ page—but with actual answers.
Staff & Stakeholder Engagement
Need someone to lead consultation sessions, facilitate strategic conversations, or wrangle strong opinions into shared action? We can support with stakeholder mapping, voice gathering, and getting everyone singing from at least the same hymn sheet.
Support for Local Authorities: SEND & AP
We support LAs with strategic reviews of provision, commissioning models, unregistered AP oversight, EHCP processes, tribunal data reviews, and more. We can be your brain, your backup, or just your person-who’s-done-this-before.
Leadership Coaching & Mentoring
Leading in education can be lonely. We offer mentoring and coaching for heads, deputies, AP leads, SENCOs, DSLs and aspiring leaders. Judgement-free, practical and personal support from someone who gets it.

Specialist Advice on Inclusion, SEND, Safeguarding & AP
Our bread and butter. We support schools and systems in strengthening inclusion, embedding meaningful SEND practice, designing responsive AP, and making safeguarding something more than a folder on the DSL’s desk.
Data Analysis & Impact Reviews
We help make sense of your data—academic, attendance, behaviour, SEND, you name it. But we don’t just say “here’s what’s going wrong”—we help you understand why, and what to do next. Insight with a plan attached.
Pilot Projects & Innovation Support
Trying something new? We’ll help you test ideas, evaluate impact, and avoid common pitfalls. From in-house AP to creative curriculum redesign, we’ve seen what works—and what quietly implodes after term one.
General Education Consultancy Support
Need someone to bounce ideas off, write your strategy with you, or reality-check your improvement plans? We offer bespoke consultancy for all kinds of educational dilemmas—from curriculum to compliance to “this looked great in theory but now we’re panicking.”
Frequently asked
questions
-
Nope. We work with local authorities, trusts, special schools, APs, federations, PRUs, you name it. If you're in education and facing a challenge—we’ve probably helped someone through something similar.
-
We offer both! One-off visits, short-term consultancy, ongoing partnerships—we’re flexible.
-
Yes. And better yet, we can write them well. Policies that actually reflect your practice and pass scrutiny without needing a glossary.
-
A bit of both. We’re professional to the core, but we don’t do robotic. We say things clearly, we ask good questions, and we always aim to leave you feeling clearer, not confused.

Breathing Room
Whether you're building something new or untangling something that’s grown wild, we can help. You don’t have to do it alone—and you shouldn’t have to Google what “statutory instrument” means at 10pm.
