Team coaching for boards and headteachers
The relationship between head and governing board shapes everything in a school - yet it is often the partnership we're least prepared for
Most schools hit a wall with governance at some point.
Sometimes it's board meetings that seem to go nowhere. Sometimes it's new people joining. New governors. New leaders. Sometimes you just know your team could do more.
Great schools need their board and leaders to work as one team. There's a big difference between having good people and having a team that really clicks.
This is why I offer team coaching for your whole board and school leaders at once.
If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.
Henry Ford
Team Coaching is for Headteachers and Boards who:
-
Want to work together more strategically
-
Need to rebuild trust or strengthen communication
-
Are facing challenges or significant change
-
Want to improve their governance
Your challenges:
-
Governors becoming too operational
-
Different expectations about responsibilities
-
Poor communication causing problems
-
Unproductive board meetings
Working together, we'll:
-
Build a better understanding of governance
-
Improve how everyone communicates
-
Make roles and decisions clearer
-
Make meetings more effective
-
Create lasting partnerships that help your school
Through structured coaching sessions, you will move from managing governance to mastering it - together.
In union,
there is strength.

How does it work?
This is a flexible 6-12 month journey that fits around your board's schedule. While it takes time, boards typically save hours once new ways of working take hold.
Unlike traditional governor training, we take a deep dive into the effectiveness of your team:
-
We tackle your real challenges
-
We create safe spaces for those conversations everyone knows need to happen (but no one quite knows how to start)
-
We create lasting solutions, not quick fixes
-
We build your board's capacity to keep evolving long after our work together ends
Imagine your board in six months: more strategic, united, and effective.
