We are a leading edge organisation committed to the development of dynamic learning communities through the strategic implementation of thinking. We understand the ‘why’ of cognitive education and the ‘how’ of embedding thinking across the whole school, creating the environment in which thinking can flourish and independent learning can develop.

Our aim is to develop close and ongoing working relationships with schools that want to embed thinking into their learning community and to this end have developed a dynamic and effective programme to support this - Creating a Thinking School.

We draw on research and experience at both national and international level to provide schools with support at strategic planning level as well as effective training in a wide range of thinking tools and techniques contained within our Thinker’s Toolbox. This includes Thinking Maps for which Kestrel is the only organisation in the UK registered to provide accredited training.

We are an established company with a proven track record having worked with LAs and schools resulting in over 10,000 teachers having been trained.

If you are interested in Creating a Thinking School or just want to know more about thinking, whether it is consultancy, in-house or regional training events, Kestrel can help.

We look forward to hearing from you.
