ABOUT US
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: We can now deliver all of our training, consultancy and coaching LIVE ONLINE.
Details of our new MIDDLE LEADERSHIP PARTNER SUPPORT programme can be found here.
School Leaders Training is a professional services company for schools, providing a wide range of services in consultancy, leadership training and teacher training. Our highly experienced team of ex-headteachers/ principals delivers specialised services including strategy and developing development plans, change implementation (leadership and organisational restructuring, curriculum etc.), performance management/ career development, practice inspections for independent schools/ learning reviews for international schools and senior leader interview support.
Our bespoke leadership training is designed according to each school’s needs and is delivered to middle leaders, senior leaders as well as governors and aspiring leaders.
Believing in responsive and forward-thinking teaching and learning, we also deliver pedagogical training for teachers and teaching assistants including teaching higher order thinking skills, metacognition and improving TA effectiveness.
HOW WE WORK
All our team come from a background of leadership and are highly respected within their specialisms to ensure the highest quality consultancy and training. Through listening and really getting to know the people we work with, we develop rapport with schools and build upon existing skills taking into account each school's unique context.
Our training courses aim to empower. Participants work hard, they listen to new ideas and thinking, reflect on existing practice, and plan actionable points to take away.
I hope that you find the information on this website useful. Please do not hesitate to get in touch to discuss any ideas you have for how we can tailor training for your school.

The training was provided in a constructive and effective manner, with a real focus on how, as well as what, things could be done. All staff came away with useful and practical action points to further develop their leadership skills and confidence. |
