"Would all that claimed the name of 'Education Consultants' offered the same high calibre of support and professional development."

LEA Senior Adviser

Of our School Improvement Adviser Programme and website, www.sia.cocentra.info;

"Have looked today and had a number of very helpful phone calls. People have been very generous in their support and offers of help. I intend to follow up one or two of the suggestions - and have received some written protocols ....... so I can present as a draft to our meeting - hey that's real collaboration!! If you want an example of a website working it's this one!"

"Thank you for your work generally and in particular on the website. It’s a good symbol of the way in which the Cocentra service is always there when you need it!"

"Good news that the website is now open to all school improvement professionals"

"Inspired to access it!"

"Fantastically useful. I hadn't realised there was so much in it. It will save me time and mean I am better informed"

"Good network - the one I make the effort to keep up with"

"This emerging as a most significant network and because of its focus and practicality, makes for time well spent."

"An informative and thought provoking day"

"An inspired day - thank you"

"Very helpful as I make sense of an ever changing scene as LEAs & DfES changes and challenges to move schools forward"

“It becomes increasingly obvious that Cocentra have assembled an excellent blend of talent and experience who care about education - I think you are in serious danger of giving private sector intervention in state education a good name!”

Headteacher

"[Cocentra] has kept its promise of being completely open and transparent in all of its actions…At no time have I felt that I was not being included or kept up to speed with any of the work that you have undertaken."

DfES officer

"The meetings that have taken place between us have always been productive and carried out in an extremely friendly atmosphere."

DfES officer

"I think all people concerned would consider the National launch [of the School Improvement Adviser Programme] a great success….Both the look and the running of the conference were very professional."
