Better Leadership. Better Progress. Better School Improvement – Without Constant Input from SLT

What's the impact of the Coachinginschools Training?

In this video, Sophie (Deputy Head) explains how the Coachinginschools Programme helped her SLT drive school improvement in FIVE key school improvement areas – WITHOUT having to constantly input!

Staff are asking for another coaching cycle, and perceptions have shifted.

Sophie shares how the training has helped her leadership, taken the pressure off her to have the answers and get the best out of staff on the upper pay scale – without them feeling it’s adding to their workload.

She recommends reading our book (get your copy here) and investing in the training.

The million dollar question is: “Has it been good value for money?”

“Yeah. Absolutely. I know it’s hard for schools to find the money, but I think in terms of the value we are getting, in terms of being further along with our school development plan, than we would’ve been, we wouldn’t be where we are with that – especially with those five coachees we’ve got at the moment. We wouldn’t be at Christmas, and they’ve done everything they’ve done, if we hadn’t have done this programme for sure.”

A massive thanks to Sophie for reading our book and introducing the programme to her Head and colleagues on SLT.  We’re so proud of what they’ve achieved and we LOVE working with them.
