Focus Education | Educational Resources and CPD : Focus Education

Focus Education provides education resources, inset consultancy and CPD courses for teachers and school leaders. We provide support for primary schools, academies, and early years' settings in the UK and overseas.

Focus Education is a family run company based in the North of England. We provide a variety of reputable CPD courses, educational publications, downloads and software, and bespoke education consultancy for leaders, teachers and teaching assistants in primary schools. We are a trusted provider for primary schools in the UK and internationally. We are proud of the work we do to support primary schools.

We make sure that we work with your school to make productive changes and improvements for pupils and staff. We believe all children should be given the opportunity to grow, develop and achieve within their primary education setting.

We understand school budgets are tight, so we have set up the Focus Hub Initiative to continue to support primary schools by providing CPD courses, but at reduced prices. To find out more about the Focus Hubs, please click here. We also have a Rewards Scheme which gives customers money back on what they buy. Sign up to Rewards for free here.

Our primary educational consultants are specialists in the field of education. They provide educational support and suggest areas of improvement within primary schools and early years' organisations both in the UK and internationally. Some of the areas covered within Focus inset consultancy and courses are: The National Curriculum, OfSTED, Headteacher Inspection Training, NQT support, mastery and greater depth in the classroom, teacher training, and school leadership.

All primary schools have different needs and requirements. Our inset consultancy packages are tailored to fit with your primary school. More information on our inset consultancy, including prices, special packages, and how to book, can be found on our consultancy page.
