Consultancy
Our consultancy partnership service is designed to assist local authorities in meeting the aims of Every Child Matters.

We work with schools individually or as groups within a federation. We have the expertise to provide authority-wide training days to cover your professional development needs.

Subject Evaluation
We provide independent external subject evaluation for individual schools and/or across the whole local authority.
This evaluation fills the inspection gap and assists schools with their own process of self evaluation. It provides the local authority with a report on progress and performance across its schools.
|
| It focuses on strengths and weaknesses in: |
- standards of achievement
- leadership and management
- learning and teaching
- curriculum provision
- assessment
- SMSC
|
Each subject report gives an evaluation of the key areas associated with Every Child Matters.
It gives the local authorities and schools a basis for planning the next stage in school improvement.
We work in partnership with the local authorities and individual schools to meet their current needs and, by providing ongoing monitoring and support, ensure there is the capacity for continuous improvement |

Our consultancy service has helped transform the lives of numerous pupils through intervention strategies to aid schools which have not been providing an acceptable level of education.
We are proud to have left a legacy for the success of future pupils.
|
We are aware of budgetary constraints and the need for careful planning for all strategic development. Therefore, our consultant will give a clear financial appraisal following the initial diagnostic visit.
Creative Education has the consultant capacity to deliver these services in almost every aspect of education.
Recent consultancy work has included reviews of Local Authority special educational needs provision, inclusion advisor training in many Local Authorities, overall guidance and direction of a pupil referral unit, subject leader guidance in schools where departments need support, and general advisory work with clusters of schools.
