Leadership is often described as juggling lots of balls and no more so than as a Head of Pre-Prep and/or Nursery. One of the greatest challenges to embrace is balancing the day to day demands of running a department, pupils, parents, staff, teaching and ongoing school development. Having support with this to effectively prioritise, delegate and manage the role is important for any leader to progress and shine in their role.
Whether through short regular consultations or a longer visit to your setting, I offer a space to discuss, review and provide coaching for your role. Starting with clarifying the schools and your own values together with the impact you wish to make, through to managing your time effectively on a day to day basis to achieve this. An understanding and guiding voice can be invaluable to many leaders who can often feel on their own.

Having trained and worked in IT, taught and lead Technology in schools and as a parent who faces the challenges of guiding my own children into and through our digital world, I am only too aware of the challenges this brings to both schools and parents.
Many schools look to support parents and pupils raise their awareness of the impact of technology on their family and the impact on learning and development. Social media, apps, websites, risks and advice are constantly evolving and it is essential to stay up-to-date, have open honest conversations with your children, monitor, lead by example and make informed decisions when it comes to technology use.
Talks can be split into different pupil and parent groups to better meet year group needs.
