At Fernway Education, we are passionate about making professional development meaningful, practical, and rooted in evidence.

I have 14 years’ experience working in primary education, including over a decade in leadership roles at every level. Most recently, I was a headteacher, which gives me a clear understanding of the challenges schools face and the practical solutions that make a real difference. This background means I can offer support that is both strategic and grounded in the realities of day-to-day school life.

Our CPD is rooted in the EEF’s research into effective professional development and is always tailored to your school’s context. We link in-class monitoring with staff meeting sessions to create a purposeful cycle, ensuring training is practical, evidence-based, and directly applicable in the classroom.

Absolutely. We provide one-off INSET days designed around a teaching and learning area of your choice, developed in partnership with your school to meet specific needs.

We deliver bespoke programmes for middle and subject leaders, alongside leadership development linked to teaching and learning. This includes training to build confidence, clarity, and capacity in driving school improvement.

In partnership with a retired counter-terrorism police officer, we provide whole-staff and leadership training on Martyn’s Law. This unique offer combines educational expertise with security insight, helping schools to prepare effectively while remaining focused on their core mission of teaching and learning. As part of the package, we can also offer a site walk, providing additional considerations from a security perspective.

Yes — I work with schools across the UK. Travel is never a barrier, although an additional expenses cost will apply to cover travel and, if required, accommodation.
