Anderson Quigley | School Management & Education Recruitment Agency | London UK

Schools & Trusts

We have a deep-rooted understanding of the education sector, and are aware of the impact schools have not only on their pupils and students, but also their local communities. We work with multi academy trusts of all sizes, from national MATs with multiple schools, to smaller local trusts with only a few but who are looking to grow. We understand that when it comes to talent, there is no one size fits all approach.

We work with independent schools and international schools to provide and develop outstanding leaders and innovators in education. The organisations we support strive to ensure that every young person, whatever their background, has access to a transformative education. Our services are personalised to your organisation, by working closely with you from the outset to understand your trust’s ethos, culture, and challenges.
