The course was very informative and has given me a great insight in to the new expectations of the Ofsted framework.

Clear and Informative

It was good to have the slides to make notes on as we went along, I attended the equivalent course a few times with Tim and I think not having to travel, stay over etc outweighed the lack of contact and networking. Great communication with links etc.

This was my first time using Focus Education after being recommended by our CEO. It was a personal experience, support given when needed and everything explained to me. Thank you

A 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!
