School Leadership

  • Deputy Headteachers
  • Assistant Headteachers
  • SENCos
  • Behaviour Managers
  • Pastoral Managers

Educational Services
in Local Government

 

We are leading experts in providing interim Education and SEND professionals to Local Authorities across the UK.

Having worked closely with Education Services across the UK since 2015, we have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges in this sector. We recognise the importance of prioritising the voices and aspirations of children and young people, and we seek candidates who share this commitment.

Alongside our ability to source high quality interim professionals, we also work closely with senior management to identify areas we can provide additional project support.

These areas include:

  • Inspection Preparation / Statements of Actions
  • Alternative Provision Strategy
  • Safety Valve / Delivering Better Values
  • SEN Audits – Quality Assurance
  • Clearing backlog of Annual Reviews
  • Locum & Associate Educational Psychology
  • Transport
  • Post 16 / transitions / further education
  • Education Commissioning
"Panoramic Associates were incredibly efficient, helpful and always at the end of the phone when needed. The plan writers they identified are extremely skilled and proficient. We have experienced a few issues with the start-up of the project, although these were all due to our own internal issues - Panoramic worked with us to resolve these issues and ensure that the project was impacted as little as possible."
