What Osiris Educational does

Osiris Educational is a UK-based independent professional learning provider founded in 1996 and headquartered in Lincoln. The company serves schools, multi-academy trusts, school groups, teams, and individual educators, delivering evidence-based teacher training and leadership development programmes. Core offerings include the Osiris Teaching Intervention (OTI), Visible Learning+, the Collective Leadership Programme, the Mindsets Programme, and the Independent Learner Programme. Bespoke services cover in-school INSET training, strategic leadership consultancy, and conference delivery, anchored by a network of 1,500+ consultants and exclusive working relationships with globally recognised educationalists including John Hattie, Carol Dweck, Dylan Wiliam, Linda Darling-Hammond, and Michael Fullan. The company claims reach across 500,000+ educators, 300,000+ teachers and leaders trained, and 10,000+ training days delivered.

Underlying technology centres on a digital learning platform supporting live interactive online courses with video-based instructional coaching, webinar delivery, and downloadable course recordings. Notable proprietary components include the Insight to Impact Framework (a strategic school improvement planning tool), the OTI methodology (a 12–16 week instructional coaching programme with a 95% success rate per a Wolverhampton University study), and AI-enhanced feedback models (including a 'GPS model of AI-feedback' introduced through John Hattie masterclass programmes). The company also operates the World Education Summit as a flagship annual event.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: one-time fees for online courses (e.g., £385+VAT for individual masterclasses, £1,599.99+VAT for the individual OTI programme), bespoke in-school training delivered by consultants, strategic leadership consultancy, and bespoke conference services. Go-to-market is sales-led, complemented by event-driven demand generation through the World Education Summit, free webinars, case studies, and active social channels. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, and CEO Stephen Cox leads the business.
