“I wanted to share with you the fantastic feedback that we had from our most recent School Improvement Advisor visit – as you know this was an eagerly anticipated visit for us and we had worked hard on the outdoor and indoor area. Your input was really appreciated – the SIA felt that the area had ‘transformed’! In relation to the leuven scale of engagement she marked reception 5/5 and nursery 4/5 – terrific! Thank you for your hard work and enthusism – as I have mentioned before you have slotted right into our family at LPS and the team have thoroughly enjoyed working with you.”  Head Teacher receiving EYFS leadership support from Primary Advantage 2021.

Ofsted visits to Primary Advantage have identified that:

‘Leaders and managers in the school often share good practice with other schools locally and at conferences nationally’.

‘Whole school professional development activities have improved many areas of teaching, including mathematics, the pace and planning of lessons and marking. The coaching of individual teachers is building their confidence to stretch and challenge pupils.’

‘The session leaders are outstanding. The support they give to these trainees, who are at an early stage of their careers, through structured programmes and through individual coaching and mentoring is exemplary. The impact can be seen through the confidence and skills these trainees possess.’

We are able to design bespoke support packages to schools that include:

• Coaching for Headteachers
• Monitoring and evaluation
• Modelling of lessons
• Delivery of staff INSET
• Visits for staff to observe practice in our schools

These packages are tailor made for your school and can provide additional leadership capacity as part of your school improvement journey.  Primary Advantage was designated under the previous system of Teaching Schools and National Support Schools.  We have delivered support to schools in and across London, Essex, Suffolk, Peterborough and beyond, and have a bank of excellent teachers and leaders with experience in developing others.
