from The Telegraph, 12th November 2009
An article in today’s Telegraph explores two of the three schools of the New Model Schools (NMS) company, “a not-for-profit chain of independent schools owned and run by Civitas”. The group’s Maple Walk school in Willesden, the article claims, “ticks every box for the aspirant parent who despairs of the limitations of the primary state sector but who can’t afford the independent one.”
However, the realities of the model as a system for imitation may require some scrutiny, particularly in the light of mtm’s recently published Independent Education Sector Report 2010.
Tomorrow marks the last opportunity for heads, bursars and school marketing managers to book tickets to mtmconsulting’s half-day seminar “Charting a Safe Course to 2020″, which is held this Friday 13th November at Coutts Bank, 440 Strand, London WC2.
The seminar provides school business leaders and educational experts with the benefit of mtmconsulting’s expertise on education strategy, school and college business direction and independent schools marketing.

With increasing numbers of ‘British Schools’ abroad, including public school sister schools such as Roedean in South Africa, there is an increasing need to protect brand images. The Organisation which represents UK schools abroad has welcomed a set of plans for government approved standards, expected to be announced, which will reassure parents whilst improving the ‘brand’ of British education abroad.

London’s leading official for ‘gifted and talented’ children stated that state school teachers can offer a lot to their independent counterparts, as bright pupils are often better catered for by them. The Gifted and Talented project was set up with the aim of tackling social disadvantage through aspirational lessons, helping pupils become more academic, motivated and encouraged to progress on to further education. Ian Warwick, director of the capitals ‘gifted and talented’ scheme explained how state teachers have taught independent school peers to help pupils become more open minded, without spoon feeding pupils facts.
“mtm are extremely professional and knowledgeable of the sector.”
