Based on the latest research, Governance Leadership helps ensure best use is made of governors’ skills, and that potential gaps in a school’s future pool of expertise are addressed.As a programme, it provides governors and school leaders with a framework for acquiring new skills and building on previous good practice to help them fulfil their three core functions and all statutory requirements.
Governance Leadership leaves governors much better informed about what inspectors regard as good practice in governorship, and also fully aware of what characterises the most and least successful school governing bodies.
The course also offers practical guidance on how governing bodies can work in harmony with school leaders, while still positively challenging them to deliver optimal outcomes for the pupils in their care.

Safe recruitment practices are essential for any establishment that provides services to children to incorporate into their recruitment and selection procedures measures that help deter, reject or identify people who might abuse children, or who are otherwise unsuited to work with them. This course can be delivered as a one-day course or two half day courses and will support you to review your own policies and practices with a view to making them safer.Delivered by an accredited trainer, Safer Recruitment is one strand of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and keeping them safe in educational settings.

<span class="helpiefaqaccordiontitle">Your Next Great Play</span><br><span class="helpiefaqaccordionsubtitle">Coaching others to succeed</span>
Just like athletes, teachers are primed to put newly learned skills to good use — if they are brought into play through coaching. The reason is the development of skill by itself doesn’t ensure transfer. Theoretical study, observations of experts in action and practice in protected conditions help. But add effective coaching, with the opportunity for feedback and teachers can begin to transfer new skills into their active repertoire.
Using empirical research that shows the positive effect that coaching can have on team morale, development and performance, this session highlights the differences between coaching and mentoring, offers practical techniques on how coaching can be applied schoolwide and uses scenarios to demonstrate how teaching and learning can be improved through coaching.
<span class="helpiefaqaccordiontitle">Be Inspection Ready</span><br><span class="helpiefaqaccordionsubtitle">Face your next inspection with confidence</span>
Are you ready for your next school inspection? Being equipped to demonstrate effective school systems and outline the evaluative measures taken to facilitate change is an essential part of a school leaders’ preparation for any inspection. Head teachers and their senior teams will be keen to demonstrate how they promote accountability and monitor current practice to improve school standards on a continuous basis.
Our Be Inspection Ready programme helps leaders plan positively for inspection, though you’ll find it embraces school improvement issues that extend far beyond the bounds of the immediate brief. As part of our collaboration, we will review and evaluate your school policies and examine the procedures you have in place to meet inspectors’ recommendations. We’ll also give up-to-date inspection training to staff — including all senior and middle leaders — and offer one-on-one support with practical solution-focused results.
Be Inspection Ready can include: writing, auditing and reviewing school improvement plans, self-evaluation practices and bystander observations. It can assist with inspection interview preparation and feedback on whole school policies and strategies to track, monitor and improve teaching, learning and the achievement of all learners. We’ll tailor it to help and help you and your staff face inspections with confidence.

<span class="helpiefaqaccordiontitle">Teaching for Mastery through Practical Differentiation</span><br><span class="helpiefaqaccordionsubtitle">Making student learning stick for all</span>
Great teachers cater for the needs of everyone. Yet differentiation is one of education’s hardest elements to implement, achievable only by adopting specific teaching techniques that embed a deep learning curriculum in the classroom. This is the route to mastery learning, which the Educational Endowment Foundation finds leads on average to an additional five months’ progress over the course of a school year compared to traditional approaches.
This training will equip you with the practical skills required to meet the demands of the ablest learners as well as maximise the progress of SEND and EAL pupils. So, not only will you acquire much greater understanding of individual learning needs, but you will discover how to create a culture of independence and which resources to use to optimise your time without compromising learning.
By applying exciting, low-prep techniques that lead to mastery learning, you will be able to tactfully challenge each pupil at an appropriate level, without resorting to numerous different lesson resources or time-consuming micro-tutorials.
<span class="helpiefaqaccordiontitle">Assessment in Practice</span><br><span class="helpiefaqaccordionsubtitle">Making full use of formative assessment</span>
Over the last decade we have seen a complete shift in the way schools are assessing student understanding in the classroom. Dialogue marking and a more personalised approach to assessing students’ learning is at the forefront of educational debate today. Finding a model that works for your students — and one that outlines a clear progression path to deepen their understanding of how to make progress — is at the heart of every school agenda.
This course is all about developing better assessment practices in your school and developing an assessment for learning policy that is built around embedding formative assessment. We support your move towards assessment without levels, working alongside subject leaders and staff to build an assessment model fit for purpose in all subjects and at all key stages.
Backed by leading research we support schools and teachers in developing better use of formative assessment in any subject area and offer one-on-one support for redesigning assessment practices that fit in with the new curriculums and models of learning.
