Because, when it comes to bringing the best out of children, young people, teachers and school leaders, there's always another way.
For nearly twenty five years, Independent Thinking has been working with educators across the UK and abroad to help them bring the best out of all the children in their care.
Unapologetically child-centred and notoriously vocal about the social role education plays, we help schools change lives through a unique collection of extraordinary educational speakers, trainers, writers and practitioners.
Whatever aspect of school improvement and teacher and school leader development you need, we can help. And if we can't, we'll know someone who can.
Click here to see the ever-growing list of school improvement topics we cover.
Click here to see the award-winning and genre-changing books we have helped produce.
And, as we know austerity is hitting schools hard, check out various ways we can help you save money when we work with you by having a look here. We always like a good haggle!
If you are new to us, then you are very welcome, and if you are one of the many thousands of educators and schools who have been with us on our journey for over two decades, welcome back.
There's work to do.
