Coaching for Head teachers, Leadership Teams and Heads of Departments

Let us help you to achieve the changes necessary to meet the National Challenge goals for 2011. Create a positive environment for each child and help the leadership team drive up performance.

Schools face challenging circumstances that require excellent leadership. Through individual and team coaching, leaders and their leadership teams can significantly improve their performance.

Every school is unique and every leader is unique and so are their priorities. Hence every coaching programme is also uniquely tailored to your particular needs and circumstances. Where appropriate, we use a 360 degree coaching tool from Executive Coaching Tools designed for leaders in Education to explore leadership competence across 10 dimensions, leading to enhanced self awareness and the application of learning back into the working environment.

Our aim as coaches is to unlock potential and enable the leadership team to extend and develop their practice in ways that have a direct impact on the school and its pupils, inspiring future leaders and enabling successful leadership.

Common issues faced include:

• Challenging circumstances (community, environment and attitude)
• Difficulties recruiting, retaining and developing leadership teams
• Overstretched leaders leading to reactive rather than strong active leadership
