I have worked with Fulcrum Learning now on a number of projects, some relating to whole school provision and some linked to personal career development.
My first involvement was as a Mathematics Coordinator in a primary School, where Fulcrum Learning secured the school access to funding for raising Mathematics provision and closing the gap on national averages. They supported me throughout the process and developed my professional knowledge with regards to the subject. My next involvement with Fulcrum Learning was as the providers of my NPQSL training. The facilitator's delivery of the course went above and beyond what was expected of them.
Without their guidance I have no doubt that I would not have demonstrated the qualities needed to be awarded with the qualification. The NPQSL took 18 months to complete and during that time I secured an Assistant head teacher role and then soon after I secured another post as a deputy head teacher. During both interviews and numerous times since, I have used the skills and knowledge that I acquired from the NPQSL course. My most recent role with Fulcrum Learning was to be asked to be a facilitator on a Mathematics course that they produced.
To be given the opportunity to be on the 'other side', as a facilitator was invaluable and has led to me running in and out of school training for teaching colleagues on many occasions. Professional and knowledgeable as the facilitators are, within Fulcrum Learning, it is their ability to put you at ease and raise your own self esteem and self belief that separates them from others.'

Fulcrum Learning recently provided an inspirational keynote address at our Primary Headteachers’ Conference, which set the room alight and left delegates buzzing.
Our university has worked in partnership with Fulcrum Learning for a number of years and we have seen our beginning teachers and established practitioners benefit from their expertise and support.
Their regular contribution on improving parental engagement as part of our PGCE is a highlight of our professional studies programme and they have been active leaders in helping set up a powerful research network in schools so teachers can rigorously research classrooms and schools. They are proactive in their approach; ready, willing and able to help all kinds of professionals improve their practice.’ (HE senior leader)
