Welcome to The Education Partnership. Please take a look around our website and
see what we can offer you. Bill is chairman of The Education Partnership, which
has for the past twenty years provided a truly comprehensive range of governance
and compliance expertise to schools, colleges, and outdoor education activity
centres. He was previously a Head Teacher of all-age boarding and day schools in
the maintained and independent sectors, including those for children with
complex learning and behavioural needs. Bill works with proprietors and Head
Teachers in preparation for and following up inspections by Ofsted (Education
and Social Care) and ISI (Regulatory Compliance and Education Quality). His
expertise in this area covers NMS, RSS, dual registration, initial registration,
final registration and material change. Bill also works with schools judged as
“inadequate” by Ofsted or “unsatisfactory†by ISI, helping them to achieve
“goodâ€, “outstanding†and “excellent†Ofsted or ISI outcomes. Bill
is approached by an increasing number of proprietors, chairs of trustees and
headteachers, who find themselves in challenging circumstances. This includes
schools that have received a warning notice from the Department for Education
due to their failure to meet the Independent School Standards Regulations (ISSR)
and/or the National Minimum Standards (NMS) for boarding and residential special
schools. Consistently, these schools see improvements at subsequent inspections.
Currently, Bill is undertaking a longitudinal study of independent proprietorial
schools, examining the governance implications of compliance and external
inspection outcomes. To this end, we are looking for proprietorial schools in
England for whom we could undertake a free of charge one-day compliance health
check in return for participating in a confidential semi-structured interview on
this subject at the end of the day. If you would be interested in taking up this
offer, or would like a PDF of the second edition of this research, please
