The Journey to Outstanding
Is your school doing ok, but feeling a bit stuck?
You’re working hard, your team is working hard, your pupils are working hard… but it just doesn’t feel like you’re moving as far forward as you’d like.
And you can’t ask even more of your team because you care about their well-being.
Many schools feel like this:
- ‘We seem to have the same problems on different days’
- ‘Just as things seem to be going right, something falls over’
- ‘We’re plate spinning all the time, it’s like trying to stick jelly to
the wall!’
This talk will share why so many schools feel stuck like this and give powerful tools to help you get unstuck.
Sonia Gill has been studying high performing schools for over a decade and has found simple ways to assess and improve schools, from good to great, from great to greater.
In this workshop you will be given simple yet powerful tools to create an even higher performing team.
Successful Difficult Conversations
We all need to have difficult conversations.
But most of us haven’t been shown how to have them well.
We’ve trained hundreds of school staff in this invaluable skill and our session we will give you more confidence and practical tools to talk about the tough stuff well.
You will learn practical tools to:
- make sure your message is heard
- manage tricky emotions
- avoid common problems
Difficult conversations are a life skill, when done well they improve well-being, when done badly (or avoided) they ruin well-being.
Outstanding Against the Odds
For many of the headteachers, becoming outstanding isn’t a choice, or a luxury.
It’s a necessity.
Why?
In the words of one head, ‘it’s because our children are fighting every disadvantage life can throw at them; if our school doesn’t do everything possible to help them, who else will?’
We will look at:
- Why outstanding is worth it
- How any school can be outstanding, regardless of national and local challenges
- How to be outstanding whilst being true to your values
- What outstanding schools actually do differently (and what they don’t)
- Practical tips to help your school move from good to outstanding
We can tailor our speaking length to suit the needs of your event or workshop.
Tell us what you need and we’ll recommend the best content and timings to suit your requirements.
