Education Consultancy

Independent support for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts

Practical, experienced support for leadership, school improvement and school reviews

Dr Craig Avieson provides educational consultancy, drawing on 25 years of experience. He is a serving Ofsted inspector and provides a range of support to Trusts and schools nationally.

Leading a school, group of schools, or Trust can mean dealing with complex challenges where an experienced, independent perspective is valuable.

I provide practical, independent support to schools and Multi-Academy Trusts, drawing on more than two decades of education leadership experience as a Headteacher, Executive Headteacher, Director and, most recently, CEO of a Multi-Academy Trust.

Alongside my consultancy work, I remain a serving Ofsted Inspector (since 2022), and continue to work nationally with organisations - through sharply focused school improvement work.

—————————————-

I currently support schools and Trusts in the following areas:

School & MAT Reviews

Independent evaluation, challenge and practical recommendations to help leaders understand strengths and priorities for improvement. I work through a personable, collaborative and ‘done with’ approach.

Leadership Support & Development

Independent support, coaching and challenge for CEOs, executive leaders, headteachers and senior leadership teams navigating change, complexity or improvement. This is often bespoke to suit the needs of the organisation.

Quality Assurance & School Improvement

Support to evaluate provision, identify priorities and strengthen what drives sustainable improvement. Being able to identify and prioritise what to tackle next is often key.

Governance & Organisational Effectiveness

Independent support for Boards and leadership teams around governance, accountability, support, challenge and impact.

Professional Development & Training

Bespoke development for leaders, teams and organisations, designed around identified needs rather than off-the-shelf programmes.

Independent Reviews

Independent review and evaluation where organisations need an experienced external perspective.
