What do school leaders say about B11’s Developmental School Reviews?
The B11 review was really thorough and probing. Having external and knowledgeable, experienced eyes on your practice is invaluable, and the feedback has given very clear action points which will improve our provision even further.
Julie Robinson, Principal, Soar Valley College
We have benefitted greatly from the feedback, guidance and support received from B11. Working with B11 has really sharpened our focus on the current Ofsted framework and provided – either directly or indirectly – valuable professional learning for numerous colleagues.
P. Wood, Westminster Academy
Many of our client schools come back to B11 Education year after year. They want their school to continue on a positive school improvement journey, and they trust B11 consultants to keep them on track.
We’ve often heard ourselves referred to as ‘partners’ – so much so that after hearing from our clients, we adopted the idea of being your ‘school improvement partner’.
