WHAT DO HEADS IN SCHOOLS SAY ABOUT THE SUPPORT WE OFFER?

‘We have worked with Impetus Education for a number of years and their challenging and insightful support made an invaluable contribution towards our school achieving an Outstanding Ofsted report this year. Andrew and his team have supported me as headteacher to make impactful changes to our school curriculum and to develop and train staff to enable them to achieve the very best outcomes for the children. Impetus Education colleagues have always been willing to share best practice from their own and other schools and this level of real - life support is invaluable. We can't thank them enough.’

‘Following many years of support from many members of the Impetus team, all teachers at St Peter’s have been empowered to become leaders of learning, particularly subject leaders. In many areas this support has transformed the school on our journey to excellence, which was recognised by Ofsted this year with Outstanding judgements in all areas. The skills and vast experience of different members of the Impetus team ensures a unique and bespoke consultancy is offered and this has resulted in excellent outcomes.’

Working with the team at Impetus was simply transformational for our school and the best professional development that we have accessed. We had support for our subject leaders and commissioned audits for our SEN provision and Safeguarding, as well as specific work for preparing for an Ofsted inspection. The consultants were supportive and their challenge was genuine and robust. All staff gained confidence and grew in a way that was rapid and that has been sustained. We attained 'Outstanding' in our inspection and as a staff team we were struck by how ready we were for the call and two days. Whilst attaining 'Outstanding' was a goal, our work with Impetus has achieved so much more. It has led to real and lasting school improvement at Holy Family. I would recommend Impetus highly to any colleague. I have been teaching for almost twenty five years and this is singularly the most effective school improvement that I have ever been part of by some measure. Thank you Impetus.
