Critical friend service

Bromley Education is proud to offer a ‘critical friend’ service to schools and colleges in England.

This service is always tailored to meet the unique needs of the institution but commonly includes the following:

Running an inspection base-room
Review and annotation of existing documentation with suggestions for improvement
Revision of existing documentation
Production of original documents including policies and procedures, strategies, action plans, self-evaluation reports, data analyses, synopses of external evidence, graphics, etc.
Production of training materials
Delivery of training
Meetings with senior leaders, middle leaders and teachers
Mentoring / coaching of staff
Mock interviews and inspection meetings with staff
Round the clock help and advice via telephone and/or email
Regular dispatches of relevant research materials and news articles
The development and implementation of new systems and structures, including for the purposes of quality assurance and performance management

The level of support – and indeed the balance between support and challenge, constructive criticism and friendship – is always determined by the institution. It can be anything from a single telephone call to bounce ideas around and seek a fresh pair of eyes, or a day on-site working with key staff, to weeks, months or years of continued assistance both on- and off-site.
