About us

Since 2006, we have specialised providing training and consultancy in ASP (formerly RAISEonline) and FFTAspire for all schools and local authorities.

Our mission is to provide quality and multifaceted consultancy in education and training in Early Years settings, Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, MATs, Special Schools, Church Schools, Virtual and Independent Schools.

We are here to support you with using tools such as ASP, Ofsted IDSR's, Excel, FFT and MIS Systems as well as provide guidance for Governing Bodies, creating your school's data story, EYFS, SEN, Gifted and Talented, Leadership and Management, School Improvement and Ofsted Preparation.

We are committed to working with all stakeholders in education to help improve the quality of education, the standards achieved by pupils and the learning environment for children and young people.
