Testimonials

Helen Springett

"Inspirational service from Impetus. Challenge and support in the one package. Excellent training, knowledgeable and direct guidance for governors and staff. Would not want to be without this support." - Helen Springett, Former Headteacher, Winchcombe Primary School, Gloucestershire

"Having worked with Impetus Education for the past 8 years, I can highly recommend them. A company that really gets to know your school and provides tailored support to fit your needs. They provide the challenge needed to move your school forward as well as the support required to do so." - Jacqueline Roberts, Headteacher, Brackenbury Primary School, London

Jackie Avis

"As a new headteacher I have found working with Andrew and his team invaluable - I have felt supported and challenged. Andrew has encouraged in times of need and his positivity and 'we can do this' mindset has helped me on many occasions. Andrew and his team have a wide range of expertise, so help on any aspect of school improvement is never far away!" - Jackie Avis, Headteacher, Doddinghurst CE Junior School, Essex

Karen Tucker

"Canvey Junior School has been working with Andrew and his team for a long time. As a Headteacher I value the support and challenge that Impetus provide. I know I can rely on Impetus to ensure I am up-to-date with important changes. They provide a bespoke programme of support that meet the current needs of my school. Every visit provides ideas to continue to move my school from strength to strength." - Karen Tucker, Headteacher, Canvey Junior School, Essex

Marianne Chapman

"I asked Andrew to work with my new Senior and Middle Leadership Teams and Governing Body to prepare us for the school’s first Ofsted visit. Andrew very clearly identified areas we need to work on regarding our self-evaluation but most importantly gave us the action points to move forward with. As well as effectively critiquing all our self-evaluation documents he maximised every opportunity to develop the staff, posing insightful questions and scaffolding their answers. One highly experienced member of staff felt he was the best education consultant she had worked with. We are now planning further support with Impetus for the coming months and I would fully recommend the school improvement services they offer." - Marianne Chapman, Deputy Headteacher, Earls Court Primary Free School, London

Ann Robinson Buttsbury Juniors

"Impetus has been supporting Buttsbury Junior School since May 2013 and has played a pivotal role in our journey from 'requires improvement' to 'good with outstanding features'. Andrew and his team has helped the school improve in all aspects and has shared many innovative ideas which have had a very positive impact on school life. Andrew has developed leaders at every level and ensured that the school continues to challenge itself. Many staff have also attended the CPD opportunities provided by Impetus Education and these have also had a significant impact." - Ann Robinson, Headteacher, Buttsbury Junior School, Essex

Debbie Rogan

"HEARTS Academy Trust used Impetus' recruitment services for the first time in February this year. We have worked with Andrew Binnell and his colleagues for many years on school improvement and they understand the difficulties in getting high quality candidates, particularly for leadership positions. We felt this first step in engaging a professional service from someone who really knows the education sector was vital. We were not disappointed and Andrew supported us at every stage of the process including targeting people for the role, preparing the recruitment pack and developing the structure of the interview day with senior staff. We recruited a high quality candidate who was sourced by Impetus and this person will support the further development and improvement of the schools in the Trust and we would have no hesitation in using Andrew and Impetus again." - Debbie Rogan, Executive Head and CEO HEARTS Academy Trust, Essex

Liz Benjeddi

"Andrew and the team at Impetus have been invaluable in successfully developing middle and senior leaders in carrying out their roles at South Green over the last three years. Andrew has also provided expert guidance and support to our Governing Body; developing their understanding of school evaluation and in coaching them to undertake Ofsted style interviews with confidence. What we appreciate most about working with Andrew is his ability to cut through to the most pertinent points for development and deliver targeted support that results in immediate improvement in performance for all those involved." - Liz Benjeddi, Headteacher, South Green Junior School, Essex

Dr Jane Spouse

"I have known Andrew through his work with schools; he came highly recommended. It is a delight to witness Andrew's speedy ability to gain credibility with staff and governors, understand a school and assess the basis of its strengths and weaknesses and then work to move everyone forward. His knowledge and expertise is varied, relevant and keenly maintained; his effectiveness and energy in securing improvement well proven." - Dr. Jane Spouse, Gloucestershire Diocese

Debbie Rogan

"We have worked with Impetus since it began as an independent school improvement consultancy in 2010. Since that time they have provided a range of services focused on the needs of the school. This partnership with Impetus has been a key driver in moving the school towards outstanding. Impetus have always been highly professional and very supportive, particularly in the Ofsted process." - Debbie Rogan, Headteacher, The Hearts Academy, Essex
