School Improvement Support
Due to the depth of expertise across the Trust, we are able to offer school improvement support that is both targeted and bespoke to the needs of each individual school.
Our Executive Director of Operations and Director of Early Years and Curriculum provide strategic and experienced leadership, ensuring that high-quality practice is consistently developed and sustained across the Trust. In addition, we are supported by a number of Trust Subject Experts (TSEs), who offer specialist insight and subject-specific support to strengthen curriculum and pedagogy at all levels.

Individual Curriculum Support – 1 Day A full day of bespoke curriculum support is available from a Specialist Curriculum Leader and a TSE focusing on one or two subject areas as needed. The day typically includes a meeting with the school’s curriculum lead to review the whole-school plan for the subject(s), short drop-ins to observe learning in practice, and pupil interviews to gather insight into subject knowledge and progression. The visit concludes with a detailed support plan outlining next steps or providing validation of current approaches. |

Teaching and Learning Walks Our Executive Director of Operations leads tailored teaching and learning walks, designed to meet the specific needs of each school. These may focus on key areas such as English and mathematics and typically involve joint learning walks with subject leaders across all year groups, pupil interviews to explore prior learning, and follow-up discussions to reflect on observations. The process culminates in a detailed report outlining next steps or offering validation of current practice. |

Specialist Teacher Support Additional support from an external professional can often bring a fresh perspective and renewed momentum, particularly after in-school strategies have been fully explored. An independent voice can provide objectivity and challenge that complements internal efforts. Our facilitator has a proven track record of supporting colleagues to improve their practice, especially in cases where underperformance has been identified. Example – Initial observation and feedback – ½ day 6 follow up half days focusing on different areas such as team teaching or joint observations as identified or directed by the support Total support 7 – ½ days.
