Paley and Paley Education provides practical consultancy support for schools, educators, home educators and organisations delivering educational programmes.
Our work is based on direct experience in education, school leadership, curriculum planning, safeguarding, SEN, behaviour support, assessment, staff training and organisational improvement.
We support schools and educational organisations with planning, structure and improvement. This may include reviewing systems, supporting leadership teams, developing policies, strengthening safeguarding arrangements, improving behaviour systems and helping schools plan change in a realistic way.
We help schools and educators design structured learning programmes, assessment materials, worksheets, schemes of work and educational resources.
This includes support for pupils who need clear, accessible and carefully sequenced learning materials. We understand the importance of practical resources that teachers can actually use in real classrooms.
We support educational settings and community organisations to think carefully about children and young people with special educational needs, neurodiversity, social and emotional needs, communication difficulties or behaviour-related challenges.
This may include planning reasonable adjustments, staff guidance, behaviour strategies, parent support, intervention planning and project models that are suitable for children who may struggle in mainstream settings.
Safeguarding is a central part of our educational and community work.
We support organisations with safeguarding training, safeguarding awareness, policy development, reporting procedures, risk assessment and safer practice. We understand that safeguarding must be practical, clear and embedded into everyday systems.
We help schools and organisations think about behaviour, pastoral care and pupil welfare. This includes supporting staff to respond calmly and consistently, understand underlying needs and create safer, more supportive learning environments.
We can also support home educators and alternative education arrangements through curriculum planning, resource development, assessment strategies and compliance guidance.
This can be useful for families or organisations that need a structured, accountable learning plan outside a standard school setting.
Many community projects have an educational element, even when they are not schools. This may include life skills, employability, confidence building, resilience, mentoring, technology, creative learning, health education or social development.
We help organisations shape these educational elements so they are purposeful, age-appropriate and measurable.
