Leadership & Management
Schools Plus Leadership and Management support is aimed at developing and inspiring great leadership teams. We will work with you to design, deliver and manage a professional development programme that perfectly suits your school’s needs.
Proven ability to support leadership development at all stages
Our Leadership partners support and strengthen leadership at all levels, empowering headteachers, governors and senior leaders to build leadership capacity, deliver whole-school improvement, secure better teaching and learning, and manage complex organisations more effectively
From single INSET days with all staff, to collections of days, surveys and assessments focussing on a particular area or team within the school.
Our advisers can provide you with a summary of the many ways in which you can develop your staff, school and management team so that pupils receive the best possible education.
Because each school is unique any support package is specific and bespoke, dependent upon need and context. We have supported a large number of schools in a variety of ways.
The main aim of any support is always to:
- move the school on from its current developmental position;
- build the capacity of leaders and managers through training, coaching or mentoring.
Recent work has focused on such issues as:
- Extending the skills and capabilities of the senior team from what is currently operational to greater visionary and strategic ways of working, in order to meet the existing and future needs of the school more effectively.
- The need to focus more clearly on driving up standards.
- The need to build a strong mutual accountability ethic where individual and team roles and responsibilities are clearly known and carried out.
This is carried through by a range of activities, designed in conjunction with the school, aimed at developing hard and soft skills, extending the team ethic and ensuring senior leaders can support and sustain effective change.

These depend upon the nature and length of time of the support and are negotiated when agreeing the scope of the work.

Online Management System
Our online systems provides resources for leaders and teachers to work together to:
- Improve standards of teaching and learning through evidence based analysis of lessons, marking, learning walks and any other aspect a school wishes to monitor and develop.
- Conduct performance appraisals, setting annual targets monitoring progress and assessing performance.
- Track the impact and effectiveness of CPD.
- Evaluate school effectiveness and create school and group development plans.
The system provides a group level view so that best practice can be identified and shared, consistency of approach and development can be managed and so that an evaluation of the group level impact can be assessed by Senior Leaders.
