Who am I?

Your Partner in School Business Excellence

For over two decades, I’ve walked alongside school leaders during their most challenging moments – from emergency budget crises to complex refurbishments, from recruitment headaches to governance upheavals. What started as a passion for helping schools thrive has evolved into a comprehensive consultancy that understands the unique pressures you face every day.

My motivation

What Drives Me

Having worked with international communities of staff and clients for nearly two decades, I’ve learned that every school has its own personality, its own challenges, and its own definition of success. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution in education – which is why I’ve never believed in templated approaches.

What excites me most is that moment when a struggling school leader realizes they’re not alone anymore. When a complex problem suddenly has a clear path forward. When a governing body gains confidence in their strategic decisions. When a project that seemed impossible becomes not just achievable, but successful.

Beyond the Credentials

Yes, I have the qualifications and experience you’d expect. But what really matters is that I’ve been where you are. I’ve felt the pressure of impossible deadlines, managed difficult conversations with upset parents, and had sleepless nights worrying about budget gaps.

I’ve also experienced the incredible satisfaction of helping schools transform – watching a struggling team become confident, seeing a budget crisis become a success story, witnessing a chaotic project become a source of pride.

Working with us

What school leaders say about working with us?

“Corina stepped in at a time when our school was struggling with budget planning and staff shortages. Within weeks she had reorganised our supplier contracts and helped us find savings we didn’t even know were possible. She was professional, approachable, and genuinely cared about helping us move forward.”

“What impressed me most was how quickly Corina understood the challenges we faced. She guided us through a difficult recruitment process and also supported our governors with training that has made a real difference. Having her on board gave us confidence that nothing was being overlooked.”

“I’d never worked with a freelance School Business Manager before, but Corina has completely changed my perspective. She handled a refurbishment project for us from start to finish and kept everything on time and within budget. Her attention to detail and calm approach made the whole experience stress-free.”
