Welcome to PiXL Secondary
Supporting schools at Key Stage 3 and 4
In PiXL Secondary, we strive to ensure that the way we work with you equips leaders at all levels.Being part of the PiXL partnership will empower you and your staff to face challenges and support your students.
Here are just some of the ways we support our schools:
Specialist support is available
If you and your team want to implement a PiXL strategy or want to have some expertise around a specific area like leadership, teaching and learning or curriculum, then you can book an appointment with someone who can help you in your context.
Middle leadership support for English, maths and science
As well as wider support for all middle leaders. Middle leader communications are sent straight to their inboxes, so colleagues remain up to date and are kept well-informed about resources and networks specifically addressing the issues they face.
Online interactive collaboration networks
Around the issues and challenges schools are facing. These seek to work collaboratively so that we can learn from each other. They are responsive to those areas which concern you and tap into colleagues who have had an impact in these areas.
Strategies and resources to address the big areas
Whether that is disciplinary literacy, reading, transition and induction, financial education, oracy, writing, supporting non-specialists or examiner report feedback and updates – we have it all for you to take, edit and implement in a way that fits your context.
The School of PiXL Leadership courses
Aimed at people in different roles: there are Raising Standards Leader courses, two for middle leaders (new and experienced), as well as one for your pastoral team. All of them are focused on practical ways of improving life chances and outcomes in the role that you are in.
A series of ‘How-To’ Guides and Leadership Thinking Guides
Enable leaders at all levels to really understand the issues and to do their own thinking. Whether these are on belonging, motivation, attendance, parent and school contracts, exam preparation or reading, we guide you through the process of working out what is an issue for you and what to do about it.
Discounted membership prices

Headteacher, PiXL Secondary school
PiXL provides a reassuring touchstone, and never more has that been so important to school leaders. PiXL is populated with like-minded and motivated colleagues who give due thought and consideration about how to best approach the myriad of decisions school leaders take every day. I’ve worked with PiXL for 8 years now and every meeting leaves me inspired to try new ideas, reassured about things my school is doing well and resolved to continually do better for the young people in my school.
Headteacher, PiXL Secondary school
I can honestly say this has been one of the instrumental factors in our success story. The ideas, resources and expertise, which has been so willingly shared by the whole PiXL team, has enabled our Sixth Form to continually change and radically improve. Every single meeting has been packed with fresh ideas and practical tips to help students thrive, both academically and also as a well-rounded individual.
Headteacher, PiXL Post 16 school
Post-16 support and resources are top quality — the adaptability of resources makes tailoring them to your students straightforward. The PiXL team are always open to suggestions and strive to ensure hard-working and innovative staff have a support base. They inspire teachers of all levels of experience.
Senior Leader, PiXL Post 16 school
PiXL is more than just a network of schools; it is a welcoming organisation, with highly experienced people, offering unparalleled professional support and CPD. PiXL will continue to improve the education system and culture of the schools, Sixth Forms and colleges who introduce and embed their strategies, as it has already.
Senior Leader, PiXL Post 16 school
As a member, PiXL provides our school with a wealth of professional development opportunities and high-quality resources for all areas of the core curriculum. Their approach of diagnosis, therapy, testing and revisiting enables us to easily identify children’s next steps on a one-to-one, small group and whole-class basis and then tailor our interventions and whole-class teaching to fill their gaps.
Executive Headteacher, PiXL Primary school
I trust my leaders with PiXL: PiXL leadership moves with the times and develops all tiers of leaders, ranging from my new middle leaders to my most experienced Heads of School. It has inspired them to question and challenge themselves, whilst holding their hand and supporting their next steps.
