Islington Headteacher

These sessions are really humanising. I often feel like I need to be a bit of a machine in this role, so it’s great to be able to be open with like – minded people, and you have facilitated that really well Kate, thank you.


Oxfordshire Headteacher

Really beneficial. Got me back on track as a headteacher after so many months being stuck in Covid operational only mode.


Islington Headteacher

An excellent 6 week facilitated course with an empathetic and highly skilled lead. I thought it was brilliant. Kate facilitated really well and it was just lovely to get to know her. She was always so encouraging, supportive and put everyone at ease. It was also so nice to get to know the others in the group better and to spend the time with them celebrating things that we have achieved as well as things we were finding challenging.


Hampshire Headteacher

The best thing Hampshire has done for headteachers in a long time. It is really helping me reflect upon things. I feel that it is a safe group full of understanding people who ‘get’ the job. Kate, you ask difficult, but brilliant coaching questions!


Oxfordshire Headteacher

I have thoroughly enjoyed the mind space and time to be me as a Headteacher with other people who are doing the same job. The time spent reflecting on my own practise by listening to others has been invaluable. I have realised that there are more like minded people doing the job than I have previously thought. I also have felt really inspired by the other Headteachers, inspired for the future of education generally (it feels in very safe hands if they are representative of other Headteachers!) and also developing those links with other Headteachers locally.

Kate, A huge thank you for leading our sessions so brilliantly. You made everyone feel at ease to share, and you kept the tone so positive, encouraging and supportive, which meant that eventually, we all felt supported by the whole group. Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming and caring culture. It was so nice to get to know you and I looked forward to the sessions each week. I didn’t want to miss any and always felt really positive after a session.


Oxfordshire Headteacher

Absolutely brilliant. The sessions were relaxed, energising, motivational and they really did help me re-engage with my sense of purpose and direction as a HT. I felt incredibly valued as a HT and very supported. Carving out some quality ‘me’ time helped with my mental wellbeing and time for reflection and purpose.


Warwickshire Headteacher

Kate – you have a vibrant and unique quality of bringing strangers together and celebrating the incredibly challenging role of being a headteacher! I wish I could bottle your magic and share it with my staff! Thank you.


Oxfordshire Headteacher

Thank you James. I was considering taking early retirement this summer but you have regenerated me so much that I am excited about carrying on for a few more years now!
