Empowering leaders to achieve the exceptional

Incredibly knowledgeable and works in a really constructive and collaborative way, proving invaluable. Money very well spent from our point of view - thanks for providing us with such an excellent consultant.

Working with SMARTcurriculum transformed our curriculum modelling and timetabling approach. Chris Jones guided us at every stage, helping us in reviewing outdated processes and helped us create a model that worked to prepare our students for the modern world.

I wholeheartedly recommend SMARTcurriculum. The team's expertise fills me with confidence: they truly understand our context and their external challenge and guidance have been invaluable in ensuring our long-term sustainability. SMARTcurriculum Analytics provides a curriculum, finance and staffing modelling facility I can trust. We now make precise, strategic, informed curriculum and staffing decisions with confidence. The ability to model 'what if' scenarios, such as different class sizes and curriculum structures, has been invaluable.

Working with SMARTcurriculum to redesign our KS4 pathways transformed our school, winning staff support, improving student behaviour, and earning positive recognition from Ofsted and the local authority. We saw dramatic improvements in student engagement: suspensions almost halved, attendance rose by 6% over two years, persistent absence dropped by 20%, and student academic performance improved. SMARTcurriculum Analytics helped us identify inefficiencies, streamline recruitment, and save £250,000 in staff costs in the first year alone, as well as reducing class sizes and improving staff workload balance.

SMARTcurriculum staff were very supportive from day one. They understood the needs of our school and worked exactly to our context. SMARTcurriculum Analytics is really easy to use: we have found it so helpful knowing the impact of changes and being able to financially forecast, which takes away the grey area and enables data-driven decisions that are financially savvy. We now have a fantastically balanced and appropriate timetable that works for all of our students and staff.

Invaluable… SMARTcurriculum Analytics drives financial efficiency in our school, enabling me to invest in facilities that will benefit learning. It has enabled us to strategically review our curriculum provision, tackle cultural issues, and break down structural constraints to student achievement.

We have worked with SMARTcurriculum on a number of projects, including our timetable and curriculum. Chris is knowledgeable, flexible and supportive in his approach. I have been delighted. As a result of his work I will not have a senior staff use their time stuck in an office writing a timetable, which is not effective or value for money.
