Testimonials

"My coach is exceptional, she is warm, thoughtful, thought-provoking, measured ... the list of adjectives could go on and on! This has been such a useful course, which has provided me with new tools and helped me understand myself better in challenging situations and changed the way I behave as a leader."

Sian Cumming
Assistant Headteacher, the Mountbatten School

"The most effective professional development I have ever taken part in. Working with high quality professional coaches was extremely challenging... and extremely rewarding in terms of promoting more effective leadership. The programme has had a deep and long-lasting impact on my leadership style and on my personal well-being."

Ian Nurser
Executive Headteacher, St Peter's CE School

"Catherine brings a lot of ideas from outside education and challenges us to think together. She is knowledgeable and very sensitive to the context we work in. The group has real integrity and has created a culture where what is said in the room stays there and we feel free to speak of things heads usually contend with in isolation. I have made friends in other parts of the country that I enjoy spending time with and bumping into."

Wyll Willis
Former Headteacher, Wallingford School

"This is an opportunity for deep, supported personal reflection on leadership styles and behaviours and the impact these have on self and others. The experience was personally transformational balanced with practical outcomes through peer coaching on key issues."

Annie Wiles
CEO, Aquila Diocese of Canterbury Academy Trust

"Kevin was a wonderful coach who held up a very challenging mirror and made me really reflect on my ideals and experiences and has really helped me prepare for the next stage of my career."

Miles Winter
Assistant Principal, Harris Academy, Purley

"The coaching sessions were surprisingly accessible. I am not one for navel-gazing and find reflecting on strengths particularly difficult. The models introduced made the process easier and the coaching style ensured the sessions were very productive. Shared experiences of peers reinforced and challenged my views of leadership and the current state of affairs. Being guided through techniques to reflect, evaluate and challenge has broadened my outlook on leadership."

Rob Harker
Headteacher, Carville Primary School

"Louise is amazing! Her coaching has significantly improved my mindset, leadership and how I perceive myself day to day. I have become more aware of myself and others. She is an incredible coach and a credit to your team! The theory is not difficult, it is about being aware of the theory and putting it into practise. I am quite logical, so being provided with theory and step by step guides makes me feel more comfortable about taking on challenging situations. I am going into a new role in September, which is going to be challenging, however the coaching sessions have given me the confidence to take it on."

Sarah Wanniaratchy
Deputy Director of Mathematics, Harris Boys’ Academy East Dulwich

"I enjoyed the suggested reading materials as they helped to contextualise what was discussed in coaching sessions. I feel that I was able to reconsider my approach to situations and conversations in a way that I would not have done had it not been for coaching. I liked the honesty of considering how my own actions and contributions may have led to certain situations and conversations. My coach asked me questions which really made consider things in an alternative way. I was able to apply the things that we discussed regularly throughout the year. I am extremely grateful for the coaching programme on a personal and professional level and I would highly recommend it to others. It was without doubt the best professional development that I have had to date. "

Carly Teale
Deputy Principal, Rochdale Sixth Form College

"The Jubilee Network* is the best CPD I attend each year by a country mile! The opportunity to tour each other’s schools, hear best practice from senior colleagues and discuss our current challenges in a supportive and collegiate environment. Absolutely brilliant, couldn’t recommend it enough."
