“Bill Brown has been a superb adviser to the Governors and Senior Leadership Team at Immanuel College. He has taken us through the process of opening the Immanuel College Preparatory School with great skill, showing an encyclopaedic knowledge and understanding of DFE regulation. His passion and expertise enriched all who worked with him. His contribution was central to the timely granting of permission for a “material change” and the fulfilment of our hopes for this ambitious project.”
Philip Skelker MA (Oxon)
Headmaster, Immanuel College, Bushey

“Having been successful in gaining registration as a school from the DfE, I can say without any hesitation that this would not have been possible without the assistance of Bill Brown and his team at The Education Partnership. I am in complete awe of Bill’s professionalism and experience. Backed by his efficient and talented staff, he worked tirelessly to drive us to our target. Bill has the most phenomenal energy. He also has an infectious passion for education which pervades everything that he does. I hope very much that Albion and The Education Partnership can continue to work together closely.”
Michael Addison
Principal and Proprietor, Albion College, London

“Bill Brown’s admirable grasp of detail, peerless knowledge of the regulatory and legislative frameworks, shrewd understanding of the constantly shifting educational contexts, and unerring judgment have been instrumental in securing the success of Immanuel College in its application to the Department for Education for a material change, namely the establishment of its Preparatory Department. His expert guidance, professionalism and unfailing good humour have made a daunting, complex and intricate journey a far more congenial one!”
Dr. Millan Sachania MA Cantab, MPhil, PhD
Deputy Headmaster, Immanuel College, Bushey

“The Education Partnership team, under Bill’s expert guidance, has produced a first class service for our school. Bill’s help in assisting us with preparation for an Ofsted 162A inspection has been thorough, reassuring, professional and enormously caring.  Nothing phases Bill, and he leaves nothing to chance, backing this up with his vast experience and knowledge as well as a calm and reassuring approach. We recommend The Education Partnership to any School Proprietors without reservation.”
Matthew and Jenny Adshead
Proprietors of the Old Vicarage School, Darley Abbey

“We are thoroughly appreciative of Bill’s ongoing, highly professional, support in enabling us always to meet every aspect of compliance. We are absolutely delighted with the overall judgements of ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Excellent’ in each category of our inspection by ISI.”
Pam Lore
Headteacher, Moon Hall School for Dyslexic Children, Surrey

“Bill Brown has a thirst for Education that few can match let alone quench! He brings to the table fine detail, unique quality, a wealth of experience which is all washed down by a wonderfully old-fashioned sense of humour. If he were a racing car he would be a classic e-type, a drink he would possess the depth and flavour of a vintage claret or if he were a race horse he would be called ‘Best Practice’. Always great value, hugely amusing and above all ‘above and beyond’.
Magoo Giles
Head, Knightsbridge School, London

“Without Bill’s unique contribution, support and advice our goal of creating a new school for our community would certainly have been a much harder one to achieve. On behalf of all the Governors and trustees of Morasha Jewish Primary School, I would like to thank Bill and his team at The Education Partnership for their tireless and outstanding efforts on our behalf.”
Ian Kamiel
Chair of Governors, Morasha Jewish Primary School, London

“In his consultancy role Bill carried out an audit of the school’s SEN provision and gave us advice prior to an outstanding OFSTED inspection report.”
Susan Lawrence, BA
Head Teacher, Kings’ School, Winchester, Hampshire

“We engaged Bill Brown as our consultant and we are delighted we did. Bill worked tirelessly with us to obtain a material change from the DfE first to admit pupils up to the age of 13. In the following months, he helped us develop the policies and documentation to satisfy the DfE we could be registered as a school taking children to GCSE, thus enabling us to open Moon Hall College. Without Bill’s expertise we would not have been able to accomplish what we did in anything like that time frame and we are very grateful to him. We are also delighted that since then he has joined our Board of Governors and Trustees and so we are able to continue to benefit from his experience and wisdom.”
David Baker
Chairman, Moon Hall Schools Educational Trust, Leigh, Surrey

“In his advisory role Bill worked with us to obtain a material change on our original site and also to open our new school. His excellent, caring, supportive, and highly skilled profissional approach enabled us to complete the project both on time and within budget. Bill, who continues to advise us, has an exceptional understanding of the proprietorial school as an educational business along with both mandatory and best practice compliance.”
Emma Gowers
Principal and Proprietor, The Gower School, Islington

“The creation of a new school is indeed a daunting task however with the guidance, hard work, patience and dedication of The Education Partnership and specifically Bill Brown we have been able climb the mountain and see the promised land. All of my co-Governors agree that without Bill our school would still be a dream rather than a reality.”
Richard Harounoff
Chair Of Governors, Bnos Beis Yaakov Primary School, London

“Bill worked tirelessly to help us prepare for our 162A Ofsted inspection. His advice and guidance on writing a detailed and analytical SIEF and Development Plan along with his supportive mock-inspection all ensured that we were fully prepared. The ‘Outstanding’ judgement from Ofsted was in no small part a tribute to Bill’s sharp intellect, determined effort and gently supportive approach. He is a mine of information regarding education, personnel, safeguarding children, health and safety compliance, best practice and up-to-date procedures”
Neil Shaw MA (Hons.)
Former Headmaster, Kingswood School

“We were required to gain consent from the DfE in respect to a ‘material change’. Nobody is more skilled or better resourced to navigate the choppy waters of regulation than Bill Brown.
