Our Services
Developing

We can work with you to develop an evidence informed but context driven whole school approach to teaching that will ensure teaching staff have consistency of language, understanding, thinking and approach yet retain agency. Rooting your approach in your school or trust’s chosen principles of high-quality teaching, what we create with you will be bespoke and unique to your setting. We can also work with you to develop your existing approach, preserving the aspects that are working well and developing the areas that you know will help your approach succeed.

We will help you to develop an approach that will facilitate these principles remaining front and centre of everything your teams do day to day, seamlessly embedding them into the culture of your school or trust. We will also help you develop monitoring and feedback cycles that enable you to continue to develop your approach over the long term.

As part of this service, we are also able to offer a programme to develop the use of instructional coaching in your school, including the design, implementation and ongoing training of your coaches. We can work with your senior leadership team to develop your approach or with your main coaching lead. If you want to develop a team of expert coaches delivering a programme of instructional coaching that will supercharge teaching and learning in your school, we would love for you to take up our offer of a free one-hour consultation to discuss.
Providing

Whether it be a person who is new to their role requiring support to think through specific challenges or a senior leadership team looking to improve the way they work together towards their collective aims, our coaching service can be as flexible as you need it to be and with a free consultation, we can go into session 1, with complete clarity over what issues you would like to focus on.

Using our experience of applying cognitive science to the challenge of training adults, we can provide support for your staff educators and trainers to ensure that their materials and key messages are delivered in a way that is far more likely to be retained and sustained over time, thereby reducing your need for re-training and increasing the productivity of individuals and teams within your business.

Our approach is to walk with the teacher throughout that journey and their contextual expertise is vital to the process. Having Instructional coaching from an external support removes any hesitations about being observed or coached by a colleague and make sit more likely that the teacher will be able to embrace the vulnerability that leads to the quickest and most sustainable improvements.
Writing

When this happens and the suite of NPQs just don’t seem to be precise enough, we can write a bespoke course, tailored exactly to the needs of the cohort you put forward. If you know that middle leaders across your trust need to develop an understanding of holding challenging conversations, we can put together a course to help them achieve just that. Before the course is rolled out, we will work with you to ensure that what is written is exactly what you wanted and expected and there is no limit to the amount of tweaks and changes we can make to get it just right for you.

We will work with you to establish the themes that you want to continue to revisit as students move through your school, the values that you want to bake into the sequences we plan and the type of thinking you believe typifies each subject. We will use this information to write your curriculum alongside you, ensuring that what you end up with is a curriculum that is tailored to your context, reflects the values you hold dear and strategically builds expertise in your young people.

The presentation you delivered more than a year ago now on Independent School SENDCOs, the Law and EHCPs was by far the best, best CPD session I have ever been on. I am so thankful to you for all your expertise and selflessness in sharing your sage knowledge with the rest of the community. It is a lowly job and difficult to navigate, especially in the Independent Sector.
