Let customers speak for us
from 32 reviewsBought Geoff and Margaret's Old School Book of Retirement Tales. Easy to order, quick payment, fast delivery! Could not have been better!
Excellent schemes of work. My staff love using these
Treated myself to a copy of this book and was so pleased with it I've ordered another for an old-school friend. Mine came with complimentary parma violets - will hers? Very helpful lady on the phone who wasn't fazed even when I offered to pay by good old-fashioned cheque. Geoff and Margaret would have approved.
Excellent service and very quick delivery of e-book and paper copy. Clear and systematic guidance using OFSTED deep dive approach as a very effective monitoring system to upskill all leaders and support school improvement
All guides are so easy to use and up to date with latest developments. Training is always enlightening and plenty of useful and practical ideas which really have an impact.
We bought all the deep dive downloads and they have really focused my middle leaders. Experienced leaders have used to validate what they are doing and more recent leaders have used to really target the impact of their work. I would recommend these to anyone. So easy to use. Used Focus Education for many years and is always my go to company 1st when looking for documents.
Focus Education is always the go to place for excellent resources and courses for all our staff
Purchased the Progression in the National Curriculum (Focus Mini) which has been a fantastic product to use alongside my final year training as a primary school teacher. Compact and clear to read information makes the mini a perfect companion to planning lessons and assignment writing. Have a number of other products on my Christmas wish list. A great company I feel lucky to have found!
This is just one of many resources I have purchased from Focus and all have been excellent. I've also bought e books and the standard is just as high. I'm an education consultant and I use Focus materials to help me prepare for courses - the high quality means that I can confidently use them with teachers. At the moment I'm browsing resources which will help me deliver CPD in 2020 on Ofsted's deep dives and once again, Focus doesn't disappoint. I'll definitely be a regular customer in 2020. Just one small thing - more support for Religious Education would be great!
Purchased the whole set of Subject Leaders, under the new framework the emphasis on Subject Leaders is greater than ever. Staff have found these very valuable in enabling them to carry out their roles thoroughly. Include audit tools and key questions which really guide leaders how to review the quality of education on a subject specific level as opposed to a generic level. Like all Focus resources and courses - time saving, informative and up to date - great value for money too when you consider the staff hours saved!
Sticky knowledge helped us strip back our curriculum. Science deep dive supported me as science lead and a way forward with the new ofsted criteria
I recently took on the new role at my school: Quality of Education Leader. The function of the role is to oversee the curriculum subject leaders and review their roles. I bought one of the Subject leader books that was most relevant to my specialism and I found it extremely useful particularly with the audit section that allowed me to really get to know my subject.
Your publications are always my starting point when there is an area of teaching and learning or leadership I wish to develop with colleagues. You have a wide range of materials and I particularly like that many come in e-book form too.
An excellent resource for writing our SEF. Makes everything clear and easy to follow. Time saving and very thorough!
A really useful manual to support teachers and teaching assistants. Easily accessible and relevant.
