Coach the Coach
The School Improvement Programme for Everyone
The Coach the Coach programme is for anyone in a school looking to make improvements in teaching and learning and develop themselves.
We have worked with NQTs, teachers, departmental heads and senior leaders.
No previous coaching experience is required.
Why is it different from other coaching programmmes?
We noticed a gap between coaching skills, pedagogical content knowledge, ability to have difficult conversations and lack of sustainable improvements in other programmes. Coach the Coach involves a micro-focus teaching approach and develops coaching skills, knowledge and experience during the programme with an expert coaching them through the process. It focuses on teacher improvements through improvements and impactful conversations.

What our Clients Say
Headteacher, Secondary
I have been on a few certified coaching courses over the years, this is the only one that has made a sustainable difference to teaching and learning in my school.
Head of Department, Maths
I can’t believe the conversations I would have avoided in the past are now much easier and lead to actions rather than wasted time. Improvements are obvious.
Key Stage 1 Teacher
My coach helped me turn a passive and dependent class into one where they support each other, challenge themselves and don’t rely on me all the time.
