Education At The Service of the Common Good

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.
