Accelerated Leader

The Accelerated Leader Programme has been designed to support aspiring school leaders in the 5 areas identified in the National Standards. The programme combines the use of a 360° assessment tool, group workshop activities and one-to-one coaching to maximise the potential for leadership development, impacting upon individuals, leadership teams and schools.

Coaching Service

We believe that everyone can gain from coaching and that children and young people will benefit as a result.

Exceptional Schools Award

The Exceptional Schools Award exemplifies the excellence and uniqueness of outstanding schools, including the quality and consistency of teaching that Ofsted now expects. The quality standard is based on the attributes and practice of the best schools nationally. It includes a 360 online survey of stakeholders that provides a unique insight into the effectiveness of the school’s provision and informs school improvement planning and a timeline for achieving the Award.

The Award in First Line Management is a concise qualification which gives an introduction to the basic skills, knowledge, and understanding required by today's first line manager.
