About

We are passionate about ensuring the best possible outcomes for all children by providing the targeted support that schools need.

Grow are the people I always turn to when I need an external overview, whether it is for safeguarding, SEF and SIP scrutiny, teaching reviews or training. They listen and where possible make suggestions which will save us money too!

Established in 2011, we deliberately started small to ensure that high quality foundations and values were embedded in our offering. We now enjoy a strong collaboration with over 200 maintained schools and academies which include CE, RC and community status, and which are spread across 18 Inner and Outer London local authorities. We work with our schools through a comprehensive range of school improvement packages, support add-ons, training courses and programmes.

Our ongoing mission is to improve and adapt our offering and capacity, to allow us to support more schools, whilst retaining our high standards of quality and value for money. We look forward to working in partnership with you, and to playing our part in cultivating success in your school, to help you deliver the high-quality education all children deserve.

Working in close collaboration with schools, we are constantly on the lookout for passionate and talented practitioners in their fields who can make a difference to schools.

Working with us will create a range of opportunities for you to develop your skill set and enhance your CPD while being inspired and rewarded by making a difference to the schools you work with.

Our team is based within the London area, usually at our training centre in Causton Street, SW1 and sometimes at designated school hubs. If you have the proven experience and are keen to enhance your career in schools, we would really like to hear from you.

We are committed to safeguarding and ensuring the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults at all times.
