What our school improvement support partners have to say.
HEP have a network of some of the best leaders in education; they have created ‘huddles’ of expertise that would not have connected otherwise. Working on improvement assignments, HEP teams are able to provide schools with high quality and bespoke advice that allows the school to move forwards with really clear direction.
As a consultant working for HEP I feel highly accountable but trusted and supported. HEP has developed a very diverse approach to school improvement that not only provides the improvement consultants to schools but also provides a comprehensive professional development programme and a strong curriculum offer.
