The SIP Package

Our approach to our school improvement work is to develop open, honest and trusted relationships with all our schools. To provide you with professional challenge and feedback, and to ensure that we are always available to offerflexible support and guidance, when you need it. We aim to be part of your team. All visits include a written note of visit to support your self-evaluation process.

As a new head, venturing into the world of headship and all that it brings could seem quite daunting. However the schools in my hub had just started working with Lesley and the team and this made all the difference to me. Lesley and the team's principles of working with you, really stand firm. If a problem is raised or you would like to focus on a specific area, either Lesley or someone in the team will have expertise in that area and they will work alongside you, supporting you to achieve the best outcome. I know that the team are always at the end of the phone or email and that no question is a silly question! Over the last academic year, we have been able to offer our staff high quality CPD through Lesley and the team, for teachers, TA's and Governors. This has been invaluable and enhanced the quality of teaching for our children.
