Our Peer Review and Support Services provide a collaborative space, connecting senior leaders with sector-leading expertise from other trusts to evaluate and enhance key operational and strategic areas. This peer-driven approach offers leaders a valuable alternative to traditional third-party reviews, enabling cost-effective, in-depth assessments while encourage knowledge sharing and building strong inter-Trust partnerships.
Each review is tailored to the school or trust’s unique objectives, beginning with an initial scoping session to define the focus areas, timeline, and expectations. Selected leaders then work collaboratively – through virtual meetings, in-person sessions, and continuous feedback loops – to provide an objective, comprehensive assessment that identifies strengths, highlights improvement areas, and offers actionable recommendations for improvement.
Cost Efficiency
Peer reviews leverage the collective expertise of other schools and trusts, reducing the need for external consultancy costs and allowing budgets to be directed towards other educational priorities.
In-depth sector knowledge
Conducted by current practitioners, peer reviews benefit from an insider perspective that captures the unique challenges and nuances specific to schools and trusts.
Professional development opportunities
Our programme offers a platform for continuous learning and development, enabling executive leaders and staff across all levels to share best practices and enhance their own operational approaches.
Long-term partnership building
Peer reviews establish lasting connections between schools and multi-academy trusts, creating a culture of mutual support and shared growth that extends beyond a single project.
