What makes Koinonia Educational different? We are a specially selected community of serving school leaders, policymakers, academics, and ICF certified coaches.
We offer actionable insights from the daily realities of education, alongside peer reviewed publication, expert led speaking, bespoke research, and executive coaching grounded in current practice.
Our work grew from the Koinonia Schools’ Project, a partnership with St. Mary’s University, Twickenham. In our tenth year, we now have KoinEd Associate Scholars in the UK, US, Poland, Ukraine and beyond.
Koinonia Educational is led by Simon Uttley, a serving Headteacher and Professor of Education at the University of Notre Dame, London, bringing two decades of school leadership alongside international academic and coaching experience.
We are not an agency or an employer. Our Associate Scholars are entirely independent. Each engagement is shaped around your context and led by people who understand education from the inside.
Strategic advice, INSET days and conference keynotes from serving school leaders.
Action research, policy work and peer-reviewed publication, shaped around your questions.
Academic editing and peer-reviewed publication support through Koinonia Educational Press.
Step back and think clearly about the decisions that matter most.
A trusted one to one setting to reflect openly, without agenda.

Join a global network of school leaders and receive expert, evidence-based insights directly to your inbox.
Welcome to the Koinonia Educational (KE) Resource Area. Here, you can access action research and curated educational papers from the KE Partners stable and beyond. Our goal is to support school leaders with high-quality thinking on leadership, faith-based education, and societal challenges.

Every engagement begins with a 30-minute call to understand your context. From there, we shape something that fits, whether that is coaching, research, advisory work or a keynote.
