Reviews
“One of the most valuable aspects has been the opportunity for our staff to actively lead and facilitate some of the SSAT sessions themselves. This experience has deepened their understanding of educational and leadership theory and, more importantly, how that theory translates into effective leadership in practice.”
Beth Fife, Deputy Headteacher, Barr’s Hill School
“[Lead Practitioner Accreditation] has been the most effective training I have undertaken in preparing me for leadership and the transformation of departments. Investing well in training for leaders helps drive improvement!”
