Universal Support Pilot

Help Shape the Future of School Support

Our Vision

At the Association of Education Advisers (AoEA), we believe that every school, college, and education provider should have access to high-quality, independent support focused on improving outcomes for learners and their communities.

Why Join the Universal Support Pilot?

AoEA have worked with different governments to build their school improvement capacity. We are also launching a bold initiative to build a universal school improvement model, one that goes beyond inspections and interventions. This pilot offers your organisation a chance to:

Shape national policy and influence future practice.
Be part of a cross-sector network of high-impact partners.
Develop and accredit education advisers through a recognised international standard.
Strengthen your local capacity for sustainable, self-driven improvement.
Co-develop strategies that reflect the real diversity of your schools and communities.

Register your interest!

If you or your organisation are interested in joining the Universal Support Pilot, please complete the form below. We are currently working with a number of partners and will contact you with relevant information once pilot activity is confirmed in your area.

We welcome expressions of interest from those who support and enable school improvement and committed to raising the quality of education advice.

Let’s build a stronger, more connected school improvement system, together.

This programme is designed for professionals committed to improving educational outcomes. Whether you are a part-time school-to-school leader, a local authority adviser, or an independent consultant, your voice is crucial.

With over 600 accredited advisers already working across schools, colleges, and education bodies, the AoEA is building a trusted network that enables, not judges, school improvement. Now is your chance to contribute to a growing, evidence-led initiative that places collaborative improvement at its heart.
