untangling the challenges of school leadership

Coaching, training and support for schools

Transform conversations

with a coaching approach

Coaching transforms the way leaders listen, support and empower their teams. The result? A stronger team, greater collaboration and space for leaders to focus on what matters most.

I work with schools that want to strengthen leadership, build collaboration and create cultures where conversations unlock potential. 

From insight to impact

Support is designed for the realities of school life. It blends insight with practice, so you and your team walk away not just inspired but equipped to put learning into action straight away. 

Why invest in developing a coaching approach? 

Using a coaching approach in schools strengthens relationships, eases pressure, boosts performance and helps keep your best people. 

This creates a culture where…

• Staff feel supported and valued

• Leaders listen deeply and respond with care and clarity

• Teams collaborate to solve challenges effectively

• The school community feels trusted, motivated and energised

1:1 Coaching

Confidential, personalised support to help you think clearly, lead intentionally and stay resilient throughout the school year. 

Ideal for headteachers and senior leaders.

Many schools start with the Coaching Approach Programme, then build on it with Group or 1:1 Coaching. 

When combined, these create lasting change across your team. 

Together, we can create a bespoke package that works for your school’s goals, context and priorities.
