Keystone Knowledge was set up by CEO Stephen Mitchell in January 2020, bringing together his passion for education, knowledge of the sector and desire to see improvement in operational practices.

The Keystone journey began with helping schools and trusts in financial difficulty and has expanded to support education providers across the country. The Keystone team continues to grow with like-minded people who have worked in the education sector and become experts in their chosen fields.

At Keystone, we pride ourselves in our passion for our work. We want to share our expertise and best practice to help schools and trusts provide their pupils and students with the best education.

We understand how best practice in school and trust operations helps facilitate excellent teaching and learning.

We provide schools and trusts across the country with a wide range of operational services, from HR and estates to projects that help trusts achieve their growth strategy. Keystone provides expertise and works collaboratively with your school or trust to ensure best practice is shared.

#####  We are committed to school improvement

We have first-hand knowledge of where the stress points are when managing schools. We combine this practical knowledge with best-practice research to ensure that school operations work efficiently and ultimately to the benefit of pupils and students.

When you work with Keystone, you can be sure that your school or trust will receive current advice from people who are experts in their field.

You can also be sure that our advice will be tailored to meet your school or trust's needs.
