Consultancy

Flexible, expert-led HR support tailored to your school’s needs

We offer a wide range of education-specific consultancy services, providing flexible, responsive support for schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts. Whether you need day-to-day advice or help with a complex personnel issue, our services are designed to be adaptable, cost-effective, and aligned with your school’s strategic priorities.

Our education HR consultants bring extensive experience in supporting school leaders with staff management, policy implementation, recruitment, employee relations, and compliance with employment law and sector-specific regulations.  

Flexible and transparent pricing

All additional services can be commissioned either up front as part of a tailored annual package, or on a pay-as-you-go basis, with clear fixed fees agreed in advance.

This allows your school to build a customised solution—only paying for what you need, while retaining access to expert support as and when required.

“We’ve been very well supported by the team at CEFM for a number of years. They are always easily available for short – notice queries, but also support schools well with more complex HR matters. The team are committed to meeting their clients’ individual needs and are generous with their time and support.” – Harlington School
