Education Consultancy

After a successful career working across all phases of the education sector,  I  become a freelance consultant and have supported a range of schools, academies and further education colleges across the uk for the past five years.

I wholeheartedly enjoy working with the education sector to improve the quality of education and learning experience, by leveraging technology and embedding innovation to deliver impact.  

Curriculum Design

I have authored and developed industry curriculums to respond to local skills needs covering a range of topics. This includes developing curriculum solutions tailored to the needs of educational institutions and industries.

 

My expertise includes creating Ofqual-regulated qualifications and accredited programmes up to Level 5, aligning with professional standards such as the British Computer Society (BCS). These programmes were carefully crafted to address skills gaps, prepare learners for career growth, and respond to local and national skills priorities.

I have successfully introduced innovative pathways, such as career-focused computing and eSports programmes, resulting in improved learner outcomes and engagement. Whether securing government funding or conducting comprehensive curriculum reviews, I work collaboratively with institutions to deliver impactful and sustainable solutions that meet both academic and industry requirements.

Education Technology

I specialise in helping educational institutions integrate technology to enhance teaching, learning, and assessment.

 

Whether it’s implementing platforms like Microsoft 365, developing bespoke VLE systems, or introducing innovative tools such as augmented reality, I ensure that digital solutions are practical, impactful, and tailored to the needs of both educators and learners.

With extensive experience leading edtech projects, I focus on creating solutions that improve engagement, streamline processes and enhance learner outcomes.

 

My approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of pedagogy, enabling institutions to adopt technologies that drive meaningful improvements and support long-term success.

Interim Support

I provide interim leadership and management support during times of transition or organisational change.

 

The roles I have carried out include Interim Assistant Principal and Head of ILT/Digital. In these roles, I have empowered organisations to develop strategies, restructure teams and implement operational improvements that drive measurable results.

In addition to addressing immediate challenges, I have mentored and trained leaders and teams to deliver impactful and sustainable outcomes.

 

By working collaboratively with senior leaders, I deliver strategic and practical solutions that will enhance efficiency, effectiveness and organisational growth.

Projects

I have successfully managed and supported a series of complex and high-profile educational projects to ensure they are delivered on time, within scope and on budget.

 

I have learnt lots of valuable lessons leading, managing and supporting multi-faceted projects over the past two decades. My work has included supporting high profile projects for the Department for Education and Greater London Authority.

 

My achievements include securing £500k in government funding and leading the development of a cyber security curriculum recognised as a model of best practice.

My ability to adapt solutions to meet organisational goals ensures successful outcomes. From digital transformation strategies to the launch of innovative learning tools, I work collaboratively with stakeholders to deliver impactful and sustainable results.

Professional Training

I deliver professional training tailored to the specific needs of educators and leadership teams.

 

My workshops focus on areas such as digital leadership, blended learning, and remote management, equipping participants with practical tools and strategies to excel in their roles using technologies. 

In addition to delivering training, I design bespoke CPD programmes that address institutional goals and challenges. My approach fosters a culture of continuous learning, helping organisations improve skills, confidence, and performance across teams.

Quality Services

I support educational institutions in enhancing their provision through comprehensive quality assurance and improvement processes. This includes conducting curriculum reviews, developing self-assessment reports, and implementing targeted quality improvement plans that align with Ofsted standards and other regulatory requirements.

My approach focuses on achieving sustainable improvements by identifying strengths, addressing areas for development, and fostering a culture of excellence. By working collaboratively with leadership teams and staff, I help institutions improve learner outcomes, streamline processes, and build robust frameworks for continuous quality enhancement.

I worked with a group of colleges to design and develop an Assistive Technology and Digital Skills curriculum for the Health and Care Sectors. This included authoring Ofqual regulated qualifications up to Level 5.

I have had the great pleasure of working on several Further Education assignments with Billy. He is remarkable in his ability to add value both in breadth and depth to any Further Education scenario, particularly in relation to technology based cutting edge subjects such as AI and Cybersecurity.  Constantly overdelivering on expectations marked out Billy as the go to person to achieve goals, targets and objectives to deadlines.  He has a particularly innovative approach and is able to liaise comfortably at all levels.   A superb asset and I hope to work with him again soon.
