Help shape what we keep
We are building an advisory board of experienced educators to guide how we capture what exams cannot measure.
The people who keep our promise
Our advisory board pairs years of school leadership with a plain conviction: the stories that shaped a child deserve to be written down.
Margaret Ashworth
Former Head Teacher, Chair of the Board
David Hartley
Former Deputy Head, Board Member
Amara Osei
Pastoral Lead, Board Member
The board exists to keep the work honest. It guards the standard that every account is written with care, from the first conversation to the last line.
Testimonials
The board's commitment to character over examination results reshaped our entire approach to leavers. We stopped asking what a child achieved and started asking who they became. The stories Beyond Grades captures are the ones our reports never could.
Eleanor Whitfield
Head of Pastoral Care, independent school in the South East
For years we kept prize day photographs. We kept nothing of the quiet growth that mattered most. The advisory board understood this immediately. Their guidance helped us see that a school's real legacy lives in the unexamined moments of a child's time with us.
