Our Services at ElevatEd

Our Organisational Efficiency Leadership service supports trusts and schools to operate with clarity, cohesion, and impact. We work alongside leadership teams to ensure that every operational function is fit for purpose and aligned to strategic goals. 

We help organisations build structures and processes that are efficient, scalable, and sustainable; freeing up time and resources to focus on the frontline of education.

We also support the centralisation of services (where appropriate) and help codify ways of working, based on proven best practice, to ensure consistency and accountability across all levels of the organisation.

 We help schools and trusts take control of their digital infrastructure by developing coherent, future-proofed system strategies. 

Our support includes reviewing and optimising current systems, identifying and removing redundant or overlapping tools, and ensuring software solutions align with operational needs. 

We offer expert guidance through all stages of MIS procurement; from defining requirements and selecting the right provider to overseeing implementation and embedding long-term effectiveness. 

The result is a streamlined, efficient, and sustainable digital ecosystem that supports smarter operations at every level. 

We support schools and trusts to unlock the power of their data by helping define meaningful KPIs, design impactful analytical outputs, and shape a clear data and insight strategy. 

From concept to execution, we work alongside leaders to ensure data drives informed decisions, supports continuous improvement, and aligns with wider organisational goals.

When harnessed effectively, data has the power to transform. It can drive better outcomes for pupils, surface opportunities for operational efficiencies, and enable more confident, evidence-based decision-making at every level of the organisation.

We provide independent, end-to-end reviews of key operational functions to ensure compliance, reduce risk, and support continuous improvement. 

Our reviews cover core areas including finance, safeguarding, IT, estates, HR, data, and health and safety. 

We assess how effectively your organisation is operating in line with internal expectations, statutory requirements, and sector best practice.

Working closely with your teams, we help build a clear picture of current strengths and areas for development. We identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks, and provide practical, prioritised actions that support better compliance, stronger governance, and more effective operations.

Our reviews are designed to give leaders confidence. They deliver clear insights and realistic next steps, supporting smarter decision-making and building long-term operational resilience.

Finding the right IT and data professionals for the education sector is only half the battle; ensuring they succeed in context is what truly makes the difference. 

Our SmarterHire service combines targeted recruitment support with post-placement mentoring, offering schools and trusts a unique solution that not only helps you hire well, but also develops your new team members’ capacity to thrive. 

From writing the job description, defining roles and responsibilities, to onboarding and development, we’re with you, and them, every step of the way.

 We offer strategic insight and sector representation through thought leadership services that elevate the voice of operational professionals in education. Drawing on experience delivering keynote sessions, panel contributions and sector advocacy on behalf of trusts and EdTech providers, we support organisations to influence, engage and lead in the education space. 

Whether shaping the narrative around digital strategy, procurement or operational reform, we help position your message with credibility, clarity and relevance to the wider system. 

 For EdTech providers, we offer advisory input to help appraise and refine your offer, provide market-informed recommendations, and support you in reaching and resonating with trust leaders. We help raise your profile, build strategic alignment with sector needs, and accelerate your presence in an increasingly competitive landscape. 

 We offer a focused review of a school’s assessment policy to ensure it is purposeful, coherent and aligned with both curriculum intent and wider trust strategy. 

This service provides schools with a clear evaluation of current practices, highlighting strengths, identifying areas for refinement and offering practical recommendations. 

The review considers clarity, consistency, workload implications and how effectively assessment supports pupil progress and teaching. The outcome is a policy that is both meaningful in the classroom and strategically aligned. 

 We provide an objective, data-led review of school performance to support leaders in understanding strengths, identifying risks and informing strategic planning. 

This service offers independent analysis of attainment and progress data, contextual factors, and wider performance indicators, framed within national benchmarks and local priorities. 

Our approach supports school and trust leaders with clear, actionable insights that inform decision-making, strengthen self-evaluation and prepare for inspection or review with confidence. 

 Our School Improvement Partner package provides external challenge and support through three strategic visits each academic year, focused on school performance, leadership development and priority setting. 

Each visit is tailored to the school’s context and offers clear, constructive feedback to support continuous improvement. 

The package also includes support with headteacher performance management, ensuring alignment between school priorities and leadership objectives, underpinned by robust professional dialogue.
