"Working with Independent Thinking has added real value to our Trust"

The above quote comes from the Bath and Wells MAT, a large trust in the south west of England and winner in the 2025 National MAT Awards.

It's one of many such comments we have received in our three decades supporting schools and school groups across the UK and further afield.

To find out more about how we can support you as MAT or an LA, please click here.

We've also noticed how often we are approached by faith-based MATs who seem to appreciate our values-driven approach to the way we work. If you are part of a faith-based group of schools click here to find out more.

We also have a long history of working with teachers, leaders and students in the independent sector so, if this is you, click here for more details.

And we are proud to have worked with international schools across six continents. To find out more about our work with the international sector, please click here.

Closer to home, we always love working with leadership and middle leadership groups for local, regional and national conferences. There are conference organisers who use us year after year, knowing they will get fresh perspectives, great service and, of course, reliably world-class speakers. Click here for more details. 

Whoever you are, when you get in touch you will speak to former headteacher Dave Harris who will work with you to understand what you need and provide the best support for you.

As a leadership speaker and author in his own right as well an educator with experience of all sorts of schools in many different countries, he is ideally placed to help you think through exactly what you need.

To chat to Dave, simply call on +44 (0)1267 211432 or drop him an email.

There are few organisations working with schools with such a roster of world-class speakers plus a pedigree that goes back to 1994.

And we don't know of any who offer a complete 'satisfaction or you pay nothing' guarantee.

We look forward to hearing from you about how we can support you.

Dave Harris
