Digital Strategy · Consultancy
A strategy that survives contact with reality: classroom-first, budget-honest and built with your team, from single-school reviews to year-long trust partnerships.
Leaders who need a digital strategy that connects vision to classrooms, budgets and evidence, not a document that gathers dust.
MATs and school groups wanting consistency of approach at scale without flattening what makes each school work.
You have devices, platforms and sunk cost; what you need now is impact, confidence and a clear next step.
We start with your context: what the classroom data, staff voice and budget actually say.
Vision to implementation with teaching and learning at the centre, affordability checked with your SBM.
CPD and leadership support so the strategy lives in classrooms, not in a drawer.
Clear measures agreed up front, revisited on a rhythm that suits governors and trustees.
Everything is research-informed, vendor-neutral and baked in 30 years of experience, impact and success: I do not sell devices or take commission, so the only agenda is your pupils’ learning, teachers’ teaching and reducing workload for all. The approach draws on frameworks that hold up, TPACK and the 5Cs of digital cognition among them, and more than a decade of doing this with schools, trusts and school groups around the world.
Twenty years leading in schools and making digital strategy a success there, then the last eleven doing the same with schools the world over: that is the experience you are booking, applied to your school, with your context, your budget and your people.
A digital strategy only lands when it works for everyone who has to live with it, from the classroom to the boardroom to the server room. That means covering the whole school, together:
Every area gets the same discipline: agree what you want to achieve, choose the smallest set of changes that will get you there, and measure the impact in classrooms, not in documents.
“Don’t just book a one off. The magic comes from building a relationship over time where he can understand your needs and help you develop digital strategy in a sustainable way.”

“The fact you’ve been with us all year has shown that we ARE embedding AI, not just having a one-off session to tick a box.”
