Let customers speak for us
from 221 reviewsA very comprehensive and insightful course, providing us with an excellent overview of the new Ofsted framework. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the SEF Report Card. It is amazing- especially considering what I was able to send you! You have done a wonderful job of capturing the essence of our school and it is lovely to hear that you think we can aim for 'Exceptional'.
Thank you so much for the past two days. It's been wonderful having you in school again. As always, your knowledge, experience, and wisdom are invaluable and very much appreciated. Rachel was truly delighted with your kind words and recognition of all her hard work. You've certainly given us a lot to reflect on moving forward, and it's reassuring to know we have your support.
Tim is so knowledgeable and well-researched, he presents information clearly and concisely.
The course materials are excellent and will be well used. Thank you
Thank you very much for visiting St Catherine's last week. I am sorry not to have been able to join you on the day, but I am extremely grateful for the detailed and thoughtful report you have provided. This will be most helpful for us to share with both staff, governors and our SIA.
Your feedback is both affirming and constructive, and it will help us to focus clearly on the areas we can continue to develop further. It is also a great confidence boost for staff to know that their hard work and commitment is making such a positive difference for our children.
I look forward to building on your recommendations as we continue our journey.
Thank you for the Report Card SEF, it's great and does indeed capture our school brilliantly. Thank you also for your thoughts on the standard of our school.
When I joined my new school — a significantly small setting in need of a focused and adaptable curriculum — I turned to Focus Curriculum. Three years on, we're still with them, and the reason is simple: like us, they are constantly evolving. They continue to improve, spark new ideas, and ignite curiosity in young minds through rich core knowledge.
But for me, it’s more than just the curriculum. It’s the aftercare — the high-quality CPD, the reassurance that they’re always ahead of educational changes, and most importantly, the genuine loyalty and support they offer to their schools. In 25 years of education, I’ve never felt so looked after. That kind of support is truly priceless.
Great!

All the necessary policies listed and updated - thank you
Tim is so knowledgeable and I always find his training to be very informative. Many thanks
This was a very useful because it is succinct and layered to meet the needs of subject leaders at different points in their career journey.
It was up to date and current and detailed. Very relevant. Trainer was very knowledgeable.
Recently, we had the pleasure of attending a highly informative training session led by Alex from Focus Education on the topic of "Ensuring Your Curriculum is Progressive." This session was perfectly timed (integrated into our normal staff meeting time), for both our new and existing staff members as we embark on a new academic year, providing invaluable insights and strategies to enhance our curriculum offer.
The session sparked great food for thought amongst our curriculum team, empowering us to critically assess and refine our educational approaches. Moreover, we greatly appreciated the follow-up link and resources shared with us for those unable to attend. This ensures that all staff can access and benefit from the key takeaways, making the experience inclusive and beneficial for everyone.
As always, we are grateful for the ongoing support from Focus Education in helping us develop and enhance our curriculum offer. Their expertise is instrumental in our journey towards delivering a progressive and impactful educational experience for our Lenthall Learners.
I found the golden threads and the links really useful.
Clarification of meaning and the support of progression. Really useful
