Central Support Services
An extraordinary education is not always achieved through radical change but by everyone continually engaging in the pursuit of the small things that together will make the biggest difference.
We work alongside children and staff in schools. Aiming never to lose sight of our ambition to provide an extraordinary educational journey, we support schools to identify what needs to improve and provide guidance in how the improvements can be made. It is our goal for all schools to deliver an extraordinary education and we recognise that sometimes the improvement journey can be tough and sometimes it can be more straightforward. Because of this, we tailor our support according to need.
