The ISI inspection framework places a greater emphasis on the demonstration of governors’ effectiveness in terms of oversight of leadership and management at all levels of the school.
Our experienced team carries out confidential and constructive governance reviews, helping you identify strengths and areas for development. These reviews are aligned with ISI expectations and provide reassurance and direction.
Our inspection training for governors focuses on how a school can put its best face forward for the inspectorate and how governors’ effectiveness can be demonstrated. Our workshops, which are highly interactive, focus on key elements of the inspection framework, its implications for school leaders, for pupil voice and for governors, ending with key questions governors should be asking in school.

Appointing a senior leader is more than a hiring decision - it’s a pivotal moment that shapes a school’s future. We help schools find and support exceptional leaders through expert search, rigorous selection and thoughtful onboarding. Our experienced team brings clarity, insight and a deep understanding of what makes leadership effective – now and for the long term.

When strategic challenges arise, we help schools pause, refocus and move forward with confidence. Whether reviewing your whole-school strategy, planning for long-term sustainability or navigating change, we bring clarity to complexity - through tailored advice, collaborative thinking and deep sector expertise.

Strong decisions start with strong evidence. Our research gives you a clear view of what your stakeholders think, feel and value - from parents and pupils to staff and alumni. With insight that’s reliable, relevant and ready to use, we help you act with confidence and purpose.
