Coaching, training and support for schools
Creating the headspace
When leaders have space to think, they make wiser decisions and respond rather than react.
The right support sharpens priorities, strengthens conversations and helps teams step up with confidence.
I work with schools that want to strengthen leadership, build collaboration and create cultures where people feel trusted, capable and able to thrive.
So leadership feels lighter
Through coaching and training, I work with school leaders to untangle complex challenges, move away from unhelpful patterns and create sustainable change that lasts beyond our time together.
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
Ready to build a team that thrives?
Through practical training and coaching, we’ll create simple, sustainable shifts that energise your team and lighten your leadership load.
Let’s start with a conversation.
The right support, at the right time
The Coaching Approach Programme
A practical, hands-on course that builds coaching confidence and skills across your team.
Ideal for anyone responsible for developing others.
Group Coaching
Reflective, collaborative sessions that turn shared challenges into stronger relationships and clearer direction.
Ideal for middle and senior leadership teams.
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.

Hi, I’m Rachael
I help school leaders and their teams create cultures where staff thrive and leadership feels lighter.
Using a person-centred, reflective approach, I support leaders to see their options clearly, build on what’s already working and take practical steps that fit their context.
From 1:1 coaching to working with whole teams, I help schools in the UK and internationally create lasting impact.
