School Leadership Courses and Training

With many years of experiencing in designing and delivering training, I can create a package that meets the needs of leaders in your school or trust. I draw on not only leadership theory, but a wide range of educational research to provide a unique blend of training that focuses on school improvement as well as leadership development. I ensure that all courses are transformational, enable colleagues to have real impact in school, and are firmly rooted in the practical. I thoroughly enjoy working with leaders at all levels, from aspiring leaders to those with many years of experience. I build on the knowledge and skills of the colleagues I work with, ensuring that training is a worthwhile investment both in terms of time and money.

Deputy headteacher training: New to role programmes or catalyst programmes for experienced leaders.

Assistant Headteacher training: Tranisitioning to leading on a whole school remit.

Phase leader training : Fantastic year-long programmes for all the phase leaders in your school (which develops peer relationships and team work as well as leadership skills), or for those new to role across a MAT.

Subject leadership development: A variety of different types of programme can be developed to support leaders to be effective in raising standards.

Do you want practical, research based actions that will make a difference to how colleagues feel about coming to work? Then the Happy Leader programme and PERMA+4 coaching might be just the solution you need.

Happiness at Work is a fantastic blend of learning how to harness the research on happiness at work alongside tools to help you create a personal, team or organisational plan for improving well-being and happiness at work levels.

There are frameworks to support thinking and planning.
