We work with individual and groups of schools and educational settings to improve practice, policy and ethos in leadership and strategic management, workforce and curriculum development.

The School Support Service offers a comprehensive programme of professional development and school improvement for teaching and support staff, middle and senior leaders, and governors across the early years, primary and secondary phases.

We deliver high quality, evidence-based learning to enable schools to develop practice in teaching and learning, assessment, leadership and management, and physical and emotional health.
