"I worked with Duncan Roberts as his HR advisor from the Local Authority.
Duncan posses the essential quality of a Headteacher of being both firm and fair. He quickly analyses complex HR issues and has the foresight to see the potential outcomes and barriers in each situation. He is not afraid to tackle long standing HR issues including underperformance and poor attendance as well as dealing head on with disciplinary and redundancy situations.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Duncan to work with your organisation in any aspect of education including HR matters."

"I have had the privilege of knowing Duncan Roberts for over a decade, in a variety of roles that have given me a unique insight into his character and leadership.
What has always stood out to me about Duncan is his unwavering moral integrity and his deep-rooted commitment to doing what is right for young people. He is driven by a belief that education has the power to transform lives, and he brings that belief into every aspect of his work. Duncan is not only an inspirational teacher and leader, but also someone who genuinely invests in people—students, staff, and colleagues alike. His leadership is grounded in humility, authenticity, and a reflective mindset that earns him the respect and trust of those around him.
I have no doubt that his new consultancy will be an invaluable resource for school leaders—whether they are new to headship and seeking guidance through that critical first year, or experienced leaders looking for thoughtful challenge, support, and an objective perspective. Duncan brings wisdom, warmth, and a deep understanding of what it takes to lead a school well. I wholeheartedly recommend him to any school or trust leader looking to grow, reflect, and lead with purpose."
