Chris Pickup Associates was founded in 1996 as an independent education provider. The company drew on the wide and well established experience of its founder to offer schools support of the highest quality.

We have earned an excellent reputation for our work and we are now one of the leading providers of training, support and advice for schools in the North West of England. As the company’s name has become more well known we have expanded across the UK and abroad.

Whilst our focus of expertise centres on Early Years and Primary Education we increasingly work with secondary schools.

In 2005 the company entered educational publishing and our first publication became an immediate success with schools. We have since released five additional publications in our 'Let's Keep It Simple' Series.

Main Areas of Work:  

• Training and Professional Development  
• Educational Conferences     
• Consultancy for Headteachers      
• Advice for Headteachers
• Recruitment         
• Publications

  Our aim is to provide excellence in education.
