Listen first
A short scoping conversation, a baseline pulse-check and real scenarios from participating schools. The session is built around their decisions, not a generic slide deck.

TRAINING IS A START.
CHANGE IS THE POINT.
Support your schools to turn adoption- and care-experience-informed understanding into consistent everyday practice. Each partnership is shaped around your priorities, with preparation, practical delivery and follow-through built in.
Scope a partnership →What your schools gain
Professional development should change practice, not simply fill a training slot.
Your schools receive support to apply adoption- and care-experience-informed thinking to behaviour responses, transitions, family conversations and leadership decisions. Braythorpe brings primary school leadership and adoptive-parent experience, with practical support before and after delivery.
This is specialist education implementation support. It complements — rather than duplicates — the work of Virtual Schools, RAAs and existing adoption support providers.
A clear approach, from scoping to review
Work on the practice
Facilitated learning with concrete examples, discussion and a small number of agreed changes. Leaders leave knowing who will do what.
Check what stuck
Practical tools, an implementation checkpoint around 30 days later, and a brief summary of progress, barriers and next actions.
Commission the support your settings need
School clusters
For a small group of schools: shared preparation, facilitated development, usable tools and an agreed implementation review. From £995 total — not per school.
See what’s included →Trust / Virtual School / RAA programme
For trusts, Virtual Schools and RAAs: a programme designed around your audience, settings and priority, including delivery, implementation support and proportionate reporting. Bespoke quotation based on the agreed scope.
Explore commissioned support →Delivery partnerships
Bring specialist school-practice expertise into an existing adoption, care-experience or professional-learning offer. Agree responsibilities, deliverables and follow-through from the outset. Priced by agreed contribution.
Explore the model →Value for money means more than cost per attendee
A coordinated programme can reduce duplicated preparation across schools, give leaders a consistent starting point and create tools that continue to be used after the event. The aim is not to sell the cheapest hour of training: it is to make each hour of staff time more useful.
What you can assess: participation, changes agreed, whether those changes were trialled, feedback from staff and leaders, and barriers that still need attention. These are practical indicators — not promises of improved pupil outcomes after one intervention.
Tell us what needs to change
Share the number of settings involved, the staff or families you support and the change you want to see. You’ll receive a tailored proposal setting out deliverables, preparation, follow-up, timescales and a clear fee. There is no fixed trust-wide package or minimum commissioning fee.
