Raising Aspirations, Realising Ambitions.

Shaping Education, Transforming Futures.

Education changes everything. It raises voices, opens doors, and shapes futures.

I’m Alex Warner an Education Adviser and Consultant with a proven track record of leading transformation in Secondary, Further and Higher Education. I don’t just talk about change, I help make it happen: raising aspirations, driving equity, and delivering impact that lasts.

This is about more than systems and structures. It’s about people. Learners, leaders, communities. Together, we can build education that is ambitious, inclusive, and unapologetically excellent.

Working Together

Change is a team sport.

The challenges facing education today are complex - but so are the opportunities. I work with organisations and leaders who want to do more than keep up. They want to raise the bar.

What I bring to the table:

Bold Strategy – Clear vision and ambitious roadmaps that drive lasting transformation.

Leadership & Culture – Empowering leaders and teams to deliver change with confidence.

Excellence & Standards – Raising quality where it counts: curriculum, teaching, learning, outcomes.

Equity & Inclusion – Putting social justice at the heart of every decision.

Innovation & Growth – Designing and scaling solutions that meet real-world needs.

If you’re ready to shift from business-as-usual to bold, sustainable impact, we’ll make a great team.

Bold Leadership. Sustainable Impact.

I’m not here to tinker at the edges. I’m here to make education better, braver, and fairer.

With executive leadership experience across Secondary, Further and Higher Education, I’ve shaped strategies that drive transformation at scale. As an Ofsted Inspector, a non-executive board member, and a trained strategic leader, I’ve seen what works - and I know what doesn’t.

My philosophy is simple:
Education should raise aspirations and realise ambitions. It should open doors for those who need it most, and create the conditions where both learners and educators thrive.

Why me:

Proven leadership at executive level.

Unwavering focus on quality and equity.

Unapologetic commitment to social justice.

Sharp, strategic insight grounded in real-world impact.

I believe education can - and must - transform lives. And I’m here to make sure it does.

Success Stories

"Alex left a positive impression on all of us at Wootton Academy Trust. His work had a transformative impact on our Trust journey. Alex balances deep technical T&L knowledge with on-the-ground practical and tactical, pragmatic implementation. Alex was particularly influential in raising expectations and standards of behaviour. This was evident in our most recent inspection following Alex's support."

Mark Lehain,

Executive Principal, Wootton Academy Trust

"Gatsby commissioned Alex to undertake a review of leadership effectiveness across the National Network of Institutes of Technology (IoT). Alex's research and evaluation work culminated in the development of a 'Recipe for Success and What Works Approaches' toolkit for self-assessment and practical implementation by IoT Leaders. Alex's ability to handle complexity and ambiguity and deliver was particularly pleasing."

Ginny Page,

Director,

Gatsby Charitable Foundation

"Alex worked with Chiltern Learning Trust on a specific rapid turn-around project. CLT were supporting a school outside of its Trust in need of rapid intervention and support. Alex's ability to hit the ground running, making use of his inspection experience, meant that the school had practical and actionable insights to guide and lead turn-around activity. Alex left the school in a significantly improved position through a challenging period of transition."
