About Waverley Education Services

Led by an experienced education consultant with a strong background in school leadership and SEND, the service is grounded in a deep understanding of the realities, pressures, and priorities of modern schools.
With extensive experience working across education settings, Waverley Education Services supports senior leaders, SENCOs, and teaching teams to develop effective systems, enhance provision, and ensure statutory responsibilities are met with confidence and clarity.

Our Approach
We believe that sustainable school improvement comes from collaboration, clarity, and context.

Our work is:
- Evidence-informed

- Collaborative and supportive
- Aligned with national guidance and inspection expectations
Commitment to Inclusive Education
At the heart of Waverley Education Services is a commitment to inclusive education. We are passionate about supporting schools to create environments where all learners — particularly those with SEND — are understood, supported, and able to achieve their full potential.
We work closely with school leaders and SEND teams to strengthen provision, build staff confidence, and ensure systems are both effective and compliant
Partnering with Schools
Waverley Education Services works in partnership with primary, secondary, and specialist settings, as well as multi-academy trusts and local authorities. Whether providing leadership mentoring, conducting audits, or carrying out specialist assessments, our focus is always on delivering high-quality, professional support that makes a measurable difference.
Our aim is simple: to help schools lead with confidence, support every learner effectively, and build strong, inclusive systems that stand the test of time.
"Thank you for all your support. Your wealth of knowledge, experience, and attention to detail has helped us create valuable new documents and strengthen many of our existing ones. You have an incredible ability to listen, understand our context, and adapt information so it truly reflects the needs of our school.
I am deeply grateful for everything you have done and feel blessed to have you as a friend of XXXXX School. Knowing that you are someone I can approach for guidance whenever needed means a great deal to me and to our whole community." Chief Executive of XXXXX School
