Questions about leadership support
Written to be genuinely useful, and short enough to read at the end of a long day.
Who delivers the education work?
Our education work is led by Rhiann Marchant, a teacher and specialist SENCO with more than 15 years of experience across education, alongside colleagues with neurodevelopmental assessment and family support expertise.
Do you work with multi-academy trusts?
Yes. Strategic Education Partnerships are designed for MATs, trusts, independent schools, local authorities and other educational organisations that need consistency across several settings.
How do we get started?
Book an education consultation. We will talk through your setting or your situation, suggest a proportionate starting point and confirm costs in writing before any work begins.
How much does education work cost?
Costs depend on the scope, format and length of the work. Consultation, training and partnership pricing is quoted individually after a short discovery conversation, and confirmed in writing before anything is booked.
