What SCHOOL SUPPORT SOLUTIONS LIMITED does

School Support Solutions Limited is a UK-based private education consultancy founded in 2015 by Faye Heming, providing training, school improvement support, and an online professional development subscription product to primary school practitioners. The company is headquartered in Bourton-on-the-Water and operates with 1-10 employees plus an associate consultant network of former headteachers and senior leaders. Its customer base spans 170+ primary schools and Multi-Academy Trusts across England and Wales.

The core product is EduSuite, a registered trademark and annual subscription training package offered in Lite, Plus, Premium, and Headteacher tiers, priced on a school pupil-band basis. EduSuite bundles training modules (memory and learning, leadership, teaching strategies, behaviour management, subject research reviews), weekly staff meeting starters, a Resource Bank of templates and audit tools, an individual Professional Development Portfolio, and in the Premium tier the Schoolaspect platform for SEF, school improvement planning, monitoring, appraisals, and policy management. The technology stack is a low-capex WordPress + WooCommerce e-commerce site with MailChimp for email, Google Analytics, and a separate cloud-based Schoolapplication for the Schoolaspect module; no public API is offered.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) annual EduSuite subscriptions, (2) professional services including remote consultancy (£105/hr), half-day/twilight sessions (from £350), school improvement visits (£650), one-day reviews (£1,000), and headteacher appraisals (£650), and (3) open courses and bespoke training for schools, MATs and clusters. Premium subscribers receive a 10% consultancy discount, creating a cross-sell mechanism between subscription and services. Distribution is direct, via website, phone, and email, with delivery both online and on-site nationwide. The company is privately held by founder Faye Heming with no external investment disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Education Development Trust: Large international education consultancy with significant UK school improvement, CPD, and leadership programmes. Comparable on the school improvement consultancy axis but at meaningfully greater scale and breadth.
• SSAT (Specialist Schools and Academies Trust): Established UK organisation providing school improvement support, network membership, and training to schools and academies. Comparable as a broader, more established player in school improvement services.

Direct peers

• The Key: Subscription platform providing school leaders in England with CPD, guidance, and resource libraries. Most directly comparable to EduSuite as a recurring subscription product targeting primary leadership teams.
• JPD Education: UK consultancy delivering school improvement services and CPD programmes for schools and MATs. Directly comparable on bespoke training, school review visits, and primary-phase improvement support.
• Optimus Education: UK-based provider of CPD, training, and school improvement services for schools and MATs. Closely comparable on consultancy, courses, and subscription training offerings to primary practitioners.
• PiXL (Partners in Excellence): UK school improvement membership network offering resources, training, and CPD to schools. Comparable as a subscription-style model delivering improvement resources and training to UK schools.

Others

• National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT): UK professional association and trade union for school leaders, providing CPD, guidance, and advisory services. Adjacent rather than directly competitive — overlaps on leadership development and CPD content distribution.
• Chartered College of Teaching: Professional body for teachers offering membership, CPD resources, and research-informed practice. Founder Faye Heming is a documented professional affiliate — adjacent rather than directly competitive.
• Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL): UK membership body for school and college leaders offering CPD, advisory, and policy resources. Comparable as a CPD-and-guidance channel for the same headteacher and senior leader buyer persona.

Emerging players

• The National College: Subscription-based CPD/training platform for school staff in England. Comparable as an online subscription model for primary practitioner training, with partial overlap on course content and target buyer.
