Thank you for everything you have done - it has been a massive help. Very professional, thorough and thoughtfully undertaken.

George Bulham, PrincipalNew Islington Free School

Governors

One Education is absolutely first class. The relationships we have built with the leaders of the governor service are superb. The governing boards have real confidence in their clerks. The quality is strong, the minutes are consistent, and the advice is reliable. It’s been a journey that we build on year on year. I would recommend One Education without a shadow of a doubt.

Moria Thompson, Executive DirectorNew Bridge MAT

Having One Education as a back up to our existing systems has proved invaluable from a governance perspective. The consistency and accuracy of record keeping is paramount to the effectiveness of any local governing body. This has supported our teams very well over a number of years.

Clare John, CEONew Bridge Group

I’m happy to recommend One Education Governor Services because we’ve really found a solution after many years of searching that works well for us. The consistency has been key because we know we’re going to get good minutes, a discreet presence, and professional advice when called for.

Andy Kilcoyne, HeadteacherMauldeth Road Primary School

One Education’s exceptional clerking service delivers a strategic, highly efficient approach to our governance.

Elise Messham HeadteacherMoss Hey Primary School

ICT / MIS

As School Business Manager at St John Vianney School, we have found One Education to be an invaluable IT partner. Their regular on-site technician support, combined with expert guidance on training and equipment, ensures our systems run smoothly and efficiently. They were particularly supportive throughout our new school build, providing reassurance and expertise at every stage. Their proactive approach and annual reviews give us real confidence in our IT provision and future planning.

Darren Cooper, School Business ManagerSt John Vianney School

Clare John, CEONew Bridge Group

We have used One Education’s IT services for the past 2 years and everyone has shown great efficiency in resolving issues promptly. Our on-site technician is incredibly professional, patient and supportive. The remote support has also been effective in resolving all of our SIMS and IT queries, especially with regard to recent challenges with the census. The team’s knowledge is second to none and I would recommend the service without reservation.

Teresa Van Oss, School Business ManagerNew Moston Primary School

Our school has worked in partnership with One Education for over 10 years. When compared to other companies and their ICT offer, One Education has always come out on top for the scope of services available, the technical knowledge, expertise of staff and value for money. This is reflected in the number of years we have bought-in their ICT services.

Nicola Evans, School Business ManagerHeald Place Primary School

The One Education SIMS team are really wonderful. The ticket system is great. You always know that your query is being dealt with. They’re really responsive, they always have the answers, they get back to you really quickly and they’re professional.

Hannah Ellis, School Business ManagerSacred Heart RC Primary School

Routine problems can be fixed remotely but when they can’t the technicians are knowledgeable, friendly and quick.

Mark Colburn, School AdministratorMedlock Primary School

HR & People

We are highly impressed with the services provided by One Education. The attention to detail, level of expertise and quality of feedback in relation to safer recruitment has been invaluable to us as a British Overseas School committed to keep up-to-date with the latest UK developments. During our inspection our staff files and SCR were highly praised. Thank you.

Mr Edward Cooper, School DirectorGulf English School, Kuwait

Bridgelea has been supported by One Education through a HR SLA for a number of years. This has been an invaluable service and support to the school with a number of HR issues in particular around staff absence and well-being. The HR advisors are very knowledgeable and having the support has been invaluable and has allowed us as a school to support and manage staff to try and reduce longer term impact on the school.

Lisa Shaw, Designated Safeguarding & Pastoral LeadBridgelea Primary School

The service provided by One Education has always been of a high standard and is invaluable to busy leaders in school. Having such a wide range of expertise at the end of the phone or in person – which is not always possible with some providers – ensures that more time can be spent on school improvement. Even after ten years of headship, I appreciate the option to discuss complex HR problems with the experts at One Education.

Lee Ormsby, HeadteacherOur Lady's RC High School

The Virtual HR Circle is a great way to connect with others who have responsibility for HR in an educational setting. Being new to the education sector, I have found it a helpful forum to be able to discuss and gain insight on topical HR issues in a supportive environment.

Hannah Howard, Head of People and CultureEmmaus Catholic Academy Trust

I’ve always found your team to be incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and a true pleasure to work with.

Victoria Gavin, HR & People ManagerBolton Impact Trust

Marketing

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to One Education for their outstanding support in developing our new prospectus and website. Their team demonstrated creativity, professionalism, and a genuine understanding of our vision as a school. They took the time to truly listen to what makes Teenage Kicks unique and translated that into a beautifully designed prospectus and a dynamic, user-friendly website that reflects our ethos and values. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and collaborative approach made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The final results have exceeded our expectations. Both the prospectus and website have already made a significant impact. We would highly recommend One Education to any organisation. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable to us.

James Docherty, Executive HeadTeenage Kicks School

Janine took the time to get to know me and my vision for our school and ensured that she understood our school community well. The two days of filming were easy to manage and Jeff’s lovely positive nature ensured that all staff and children gave their best. Our promotional video perfectly illustrates everything we are and everything we have to offer at our school. We are so pleased with it.

Claire Breeze, Head TeacherSt Bernards RC Primary School

Working with One Education on our website redesign has been a great experience from start to finish. From our very first meeting, it truly felt like a collaborative partnership, with Janine and the team going above and beyond at every stage with a real personal touch. The support was exceptional; always responsive, approachable, and ready to help, which made a real difference. We are absolutely delighted with our new website and couldn’t recommend One Education highly enough. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

Rachel Flatman, HeadteacherAll Saints CE Primary School

They really don’t feel like service providers, but part of the team themselves. Their expertise in educational marketing and their understanding of our school vision and ethos has really been invaluable in raising our school’s profile.

Adam Porter, HeadteacherHolden Clough Primary School

Janine and her team have been amazing, offering valuable help and advice, right from the very first phone call.

Helen Maguire, SBMSt Ambrose RC Primary School

Payroll

I am extremely pleased with the service that I have received from the One Education Payroll team. I have found every interaction with staff members, whether through the helpdesk or in more specific pieces of work, to be thoroughly helpful. They have provided excellent guidance for my staff in day to day operational activities, and in respect of strategic input. I would fully endorse their services to any school.

Darren AmesburyHeadteacher

One Education payroll service provides an individual tailor made service for your school, dealing promptly with any enquiries and are always willing to support and help in any way they can.

Liz PerrySchool Business Manager

The service has been a game-changer. It’s effective, reliable & allowed us to focus on other aspects of financial planning.

Nic Cooke, Finance and HR ManagerThe Barlow RC High School

School Finance

I cannot recommend One Education finance team enough, any worry or stress that you may have over finances is taken away as the advice and support you get really is second to none. As a school going through quite a lot of change in leadership, they have supported us through some difficult transition periods, ensuring that we stay compliant, financially stable and take away the stress of this in a friendly and supportive way. Nothing is too much trouble and even if it is something that isn't in their remit, they often will find out something for you and have the answer within a short space of time. Quite honestly, I cannot imagine how we would have done it without the support of One Education, in particular, Petra and cannot thank them enough for all they have done and continue to do for us.

Rachel Flatman, HeadteacherAll Saints C of E Primary School

One Education demonstrate a real understanding of Hospital School funding and have supported the school in managing challenging strategic decisions around future financial planning of the school. One Education have also supported the school through internal quality checks which has supported the improvement of processes and procedures and secured accurate and confidence in the budget planning and reporting function.

Manchester Hospital School

We are very happy to be working with One Education. The regular visits from our Finance Officer, Zoey, together with the termly conferences and ongoing assistance provide a complete package of financial support to us. The team are highly knowledgeable and are always keen to explore new areas of interest and bring in expertise when required. Thank you for your support to date!

EYFS

Following the Early Years training, I came away enthused to write our EYFS key priorities for the year ahead. From information I received during the session, I was able to provide a series of workshops to staff on child development conversations. The profile of our fantastic work in EYFS has been raised this year, driven by the confidence that this training course instilled in myself as EYFS leader.  The team at One Education has an enthusiasm for EYFS which is infectious and I wholeheartedly recommend the training session and their EYFS support.

Sharon Owen, Assistant Headteacher and EYFS LeadIrk Valley Community School

As a result of the consultancy from One Education and Jo, we’ve seen big changes within our environments in Early Years. We have clearly identified areas, use of language, challenges, resources, and ensuring that provision inside and outside is meeting the needs of the children, having an impact on their learning, growth and development.

Eileen Anderson, HeadteacherSaviour CE Primary School

Jo delivered an engaging and thought-provoking talk on the importance of play. Her insight and personal experience into how play shapes development and learning was inspiring.

Literacy

Working with Laura and One Education has had an enormous impact on literacy in our school, staff knowledge, confidence and the quality of teaching and learning. Laura’s expert knowledge and supportive manner has helped us to build a bespoke curriculum around a broad range of texts that reflect our school community and appropriately challenge children. She has led staff CPD on a 1:1, year group, key stage and whole-school basis and has enthused staff in the teaching of literacy whilst developing their confidence and knowledge. Literacy at Chapel Street has been greatly enhanced with the support and development of Laura and the team at One Education and we are looking forward to continuing our journey together.

Music

Our Lady’s have really enjoyed all of the musical events this year. It’s amazing to have this opportunity for our children. It’s also an amazing experience to be singing in the famous venues across Manchester.

Rosie Burton, TeacherOur Lady's RC Primary School

The ‘We Can Play’ programme was tailored to every student’s unique strength. Everybody had the opportunity to stand out and express themselves. It gave us all a sense of freedom and it was a really rewarding collaboration. I believe that I owe my musical career to Mr Hawkins and this programme. If I hadn’t been introduced to playing in bands and being a musician at such a young age, I don’t think that I would be where I am today.

Amy Bent, former studentCo-op Academy Broadhurst

I absolutely would recommend One Education. They have a fantastic CPD offer and we have recently been part of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra training. I would recommend anyone to be involved.

Matt Asher, Head of Performing ArtsCo-op Academy, North Manchester

Mr Sinclair is an absolutely astonishing teacher. He’s got good rapport not just with parents, but the pupils. He’s on their level and is a very talented musician himself. His approach to learning is outstanding.

Mrs Nolan, ParentCo-op Academy, North Manchester

Mr. Sinclair is like a father figure to everyone in the steel pans band. He brings the energy and he brings everyone together.

Seada and Francoise, Year 11 StudentsCo-op Academy, North Manchester

Reading Award

Our Reading consultant Laura has come in with her knowledge and expertise to support our Reading lead and all staff in embedding a curriculum and practice that develops skills and knowledge within reading. The Reading Award supported us in building a culture, passion and love of reading throughout the school.

James Rolt, HeadteacherSt James’ CE Primary School

We look back to our work with One Education with pride, working with them in partnership as part of our trust strategy development and school improvement.

Sarah Green, Trust Director of LiteracyProspere Learning Trust

Oracy Award

Working with our consultant proved invaluable support to identify where the school was at with regards to Oracy. The identification of next steps with clear examples of how to put these into action was extremely useful and I still refer back to the audit when implementing these changes to our approach. The reference documents and reading materials to support our further work have also been hugely beneficial.

Helen Lee, Deputy HeadteacherQueensgate Primary School, Stockport

School Development

I would definitely recommend One Education and especially Jo Gray to other headteachers and leaders because she offers really bespoke training opportunities, she understands the recent research, and will really think carefully about your school community and move your school forward.

Sarah Bryan, HeadteacherFirs Primary School

While reminding us all of the job that needs to be done and how to do it well, Jo has mastered the art of also making the people on her courses feel supported and empowered, rather than being lectured. Thank you.

Sarah Chandler, Vice PrincipalWerneth Primary

Educational Psychology

We’ve worked with One Education for a number of years now. The service has always been of a very high quality. I feel that the Educational Psychologists really understand the context and nature of our school. They have a lot of empathy and understanding for our families. When they conduct assessments with our children, the children always give feedback about how comfortable they felt. The staff always feel that they can go and speak to the EPs when they are in school. It’s definitely something I would recommend to all schools.

Jessica Reed, SENDCoAll Saints Primary School

Both our Educational Psychologists have been amazing and supportive. They have gone above and beyond their role. Their advice and support has been invaluable.

Feedback from our schools

The training went well beyond the ubiquitous mental health guidance and I felt very well informed and empowered. Possibly the best training I’ve received on this theme.

Feedback from Critical Incident Training

They make insightful observations and their suggestions are always clear, practical and achievable.

Feedback from our schools

SEND Support

Our Lead Practitioner for SEND from One Education has provided invaluable advice, expertise and support, not just to myself as a SENDCo, but to our school’s wider Inclusion Team and staffing body. Her experience as a SENDCo and DSL has provided vital insight and guidance into our school’s decision making, allowing for the school to move forward with our core vision for SEND.

Fae Horsley, SENDCo & English TeacherDean Trust Ardwick

Thank you for your SEND Review report - it has been so helpful and has been instrumental to helping me feel more focused and able to pinpoint areas to improve. It has been such a supportive process and I thank you for that.

Jenna Boult, SENCoHolden Clough Primary School

Speech and Language Therapy

It’s really important that we’re able to seek expert advice and guidance from One Education Speech and Language Therapists to make sure that we’re able to meet individual children’s needs and make sure the correct interventions and support is in place for them.

Vicky Cawley, SENcoStanley Grove Primary School

Creative Psychotherapy in Education

Through One Education and the work that Emma has done as an Art Therapist, we’ve really been able to work collaboratively to understand childhood trauma and ACEs. Teachers are more confident, the children have a greater understanding of their needs, wants and feelings, and they are able to articulate that better than they have before. We feel that we’ve added to our team with One Education. Although a short-term intervention, the impact of Emma’s creative psychotherapy support has left a lasting legacy on our school.

Chris Lawson, Assistant HeadteacherDSL & Pastoral Lead, Parbold Douglas CE Academy

Supervision helped me offload the pressures of supporting increasingly vulnerable and in-need young people affected by years of austerity. This provided a platform to discuss ethical dilemmas and seek guidance on how to handle complex situations. Through supervision, we refine mentoring techniques and adapt to changing circumstances, promoting ongoing growth and development in our roles as mentors.

MentorManchester Safe Task Force Project

Safeguarding

Safeguarding Supervision sessions are invaluable for staff, it is a chance to speak in confidence to someone about the challenges faced each term. The opportunity to offload and discuss difficult cases is crucial to support staff's mental health. Vanessa is a real asset to One Education, her personable nature and friendly attitude makes supervision sessions really easy and staff feel comfortable to open up about the challenges they face. Thank you for all the support you have offered our staff this year, we look forward to continuing with your service next year.

Kirsty Roban, Deputy HeadteacherThe Kingsway School

We found the assessment useful and the final report has helped us structure safeguarding training for the current year. It was a supportive process and we have been able to use the report meaningfully and share it with stakeholders. It’s always useful to have that external appraisal which serves as a critique rather than a criticism.

Stuart Harris, Deputy HeadteacherGrange School

I had a lovely meeting with your welfare adviser this morning. I did not know what to expect but I left the room very calm & felt our roles in safeguarding were appreciated, valued and our mental health was precious to you all.

Birchfields Primary School

School Attendance

Our Attendance Audit was very informative and helpful. We went over complex attendance cases with Jess, who provided us with sound advice and next steps around coding and actions. This allowed us to identify blind spots and evaluate our current practice, which then helped us to create an action plan to improve procedures. Jess was available to talk over the phone and provide additional support after the audit too. Jess's sound and valuable advice had a very positive impact on the outcome of our Ofsted visit soon afterwards.

Rushna Avari, Deputy HeadteacherManley Park Primary School

Attendance is so important and as a school we have worked hard on this. Working with One Education enabled us to further develop what we do at each level and has helped us to address persistent absence more effectively.

Julie Miles, HeadteacherSt Brigid's Primary School

The expert advice we received on attendance has been very useful in helping us to refine our workings. We have gone from strength to strength as a result.
