In the classroom
We sit in lessons, work alongside teachers, and stay long enough to see what actually changes results, not just what looks good in a report.
01
Academic Performance
Move the diploma average that defines your school.
Every engagement starts the same way: a conversation with you, then focus groups with the people who actually run the school day, teachers, heads of department, students, parents. What we hear is yours to keep, whether you decide to work with us or not.
- Founders' conversation and stakeholder focus groups, yours to keep
- Diagnostic of teaching quality, assessment design and data routines
- Subject-by-subject improvement plans owned by your heads of department
- Coaching cycles for teachers, with rubrics that hold up under scrutiny
- Termly results reviews with the senior team
Founders' previous school, before NEA
From 28 to 37 average diploma score.
02
Growth Strategy
Fill the school you have planned for.
We start by listening, to you, then to small groups of current families, prospective families and admissions staff. You walk away with a clear read on where enrolment is leaking, regardless of whether we go further together.
- Founders' conversation and family / staff focus groups, yours to keep
- Positioning and proof points families actually care about
- Admissions funnel rebuilt end-to-end: enquiry, tour, offer, yield
- Open-event playbooks and tour scripts that convert
- Retention systems for the families you already have
Founders' previous school, before NEA
From 60 to 750 students.
03
School Strategy
One page that aligns the whole school.
First a conversation with you and the chair, then focused sessions with the board, the head and the senior team. The picture you get of where the school is, and where it isn't, is yours, whether or not we write the strategy together.
- Founders' conversation and board / SLT alignment sessions, yours to keep
- A single-page strategy with five-year horizons
- Quarterly operating rhythm: goals, owners, reviews
- Resource and capital planning to match
Founders' previous school, before NEA
Leadership teams that move in one direction, on purpose.
04
Leadership Development
Coach the team you already have.
It begins with a conversation with the head, then small focus groups with deputies and middle leaders. The honest picture of bench strength, what you have, what's missing, where the bottlenecks sit, is yours either way.
- Founders' conversation and leadership focus groups, yours to keep
- 1:1 coaching for the head and deputies
- Middle-leader cohort programmes
- Live observation, feedback, and rehearsal in real meetings
- Succession plans for the roles the school cannot afford to lose
Founders' previous school, before NEA
Leaders who hold standards without burning out the team.
How we show up
What this actually looks like.
We sit alongside: in the building, in the room, in the work. Two recent moments from a partner school.
Working with school leaders
Heads, deputies and boards in the room together. We make the hard calls with you, then stay through the operating cycles that follow.
Not sure which engagement fits?
Most schools call us with one problem and discover a different one underneath. A 30-minute call usually clears it up.
