As catalysts, we shine lights in dark corners.
We take an appreciative approach and engage in honest, person-centred dialogue. Sounds fluffy? It's not, it simply recognises that education is led by humans that need human-centred solutions. Every setting, organisation and charity is different and each setting deserves bespoke attention.

Our favourite quote from a Headteacher

In addition to the curriculum and leadership surveys, reviews, coaching and mentoring that Lighting up Learning provide, we also have three distinct pathways to deepen our work with individual organisations or connect individuals locally and internationally.
Not only have we combined practical pedagogy with progressive content, we have had the validation from numerous leaders and inspectors that the way we work, over time with people on the ground makes a difference. We don't parachute in, we are not a SWAT team. We work with people to make sustainable curriculum change.

Founder and Managing Director...seek to evolve education through cultural change over time. As an organisation, we do this through being knowledge-engaged, using a combination of experience, research and theory. We are particularly committed to representing our broad and rich society to enhance curriculum and leadership.
As a group of practising teachers and leaders, we work with people on the ground in classrooms and staff rooms to affect practice and policy both in the UK and in countries such as Colombia, Afghanistan, Indonesia and Zambia. We do not make the change, we are not a SWOT team.
We help affect change from the inside and work with people in schools, trusts and charities for the long haul. We mark our success when we are no longer needed.
Evolution takes time.'
