"I joined the MAT at Easter 2026, and it was clear there was significant work to be done. Our partnership with Oli and Adam as school improvement partners has been transformational.

Unlike other school improvement partners, Oli and Adam work by listening, really looking at practice, and working collaboratively to pull together actions based on discussions with school leaders and educators. 

Impact is visible by: 

• Clear, directive decisions that are made in the moment during our sessions together
• Actions are thoroughly documented, enabling us to maintain momentum and track progress
• Solutions are owned by our team and grounded in our reality, not imposed from outside

The improvements we have made swiftly are a direct result of our working partnership with Oli and Adam. Their collaborative, listening-led approach combined with decisive action and thorough documentation has enabled rapid school improvement and development.

I would highly recommend Inclusive Improvement to any school leader looking for school improvement support that is practical, collaborative and results-focused."

"I was lucky to be introduced to Oli by a colleague who highly recommended him for an investigation we wanted an external expert to complete. 

Oli's responsiveness, expertise and pragmatism throughout was much appreciated and had an immediate and lasting impact on our approach. We would not hesitate to work with Oli in the future or recommend him to others. Thank you Oli!"

"I’ve found the partnership with Inclusive Improvement to be both challenging and supportive in exactly the right balance. The professional challenge provided by Oli and Adam has really strengthened my leadership thinking and encouraged me to look more critically at our strategic priorities. Their input has helped us refine and evolve our SEF so that it is sharper, more evidence informed, and more aligned with our long term school improvement direction.

The coaching they have provided for me and for the leadership team has been particularly valuable. It has helped us reflect more deeply on our decision making, our use of evidence, and the clarity and consistency of our leadership practice. These sessions have given us space to think, recalibrate, and move forward with greater confidence and coherence. The guidance around strategic planning has also been important, especially in helping me think through the sequencing and delivery of improvement actions. It has supported me to maintain clarity and purpose, and to ensure our plans are both ambitious and realistic.

Working with Inclusive Improvement feels collaborative and genuinely focused on building our internal capacity. I always come away from discussions with greater clarity and a renewed sense of direction. The challenge is constructive, and I feel it strengthens my own leadership thinking.

In terms of impact, I do believe Inclusive Improvement is improving our school. They are helping us embed more rigorous self evaluation, sharpen our strategic decision making, and maintain a disciplined focus on the things that will make the biggest difference. The coaching element is also having a noticeable influence on how we lead as a team.

Overall, the support has been highly beneficial, and I really appreciate the professional dialogue and consistency they both bring."
