One Education: Putting Children First

We have the answers to your transactional and complex people issues but our main ambition is to free your time to concentrate on teaching and learning. Think of us as an extra member of your management team, putting you first and delivering on your agenda. We can do all the back-office transactional services such as payroll and personnel administration, but also the specialist services which are highly complex in the education context. These include HR casework and employment law, governance and general school management issues. You can use the expert helpline to get a quick answer to the majority of questions oruse our website to get the document, policy or procedure you need.

Ultimately, if you need a specialist by your side, handling the issue, doing the work, working to your agenda, you can have one. You can talk to us in complete confidence and our advice will be straightforward and practical.

Our team of specialist advisers has many years’ experience working in schools. Typically, the team have supported on headteacher pay and remuneration, staff restructuring, recruitment, terms and conditions, contracts, succession planning, attendance and discipline, appraisal and capability, conciliation and mediation, exit strategies, investigations, safeguarding, policies and critical incident support.

A school was recently challenged by Ofsted to improve its performance and raise standards. The headteacher deployed One Education advisers to work with governors on a staff restructure and to manage competency and conduct issues in a supportive manner. Staff attendance problems were addressed sensitively and professionally. Training also empowered them to deal with people management issues consistently.

The headteacher found our input invaluable and credited the team for contributing to improving standards at the school.
