Headteacher Supervision

In headteacher supervision, we meet regularly (monthly or half-termly). In the safe and non-judgmental space of supervision, you share aspects of your work that seem important to discuss and explore, like, for example:

  • events you've experienced

  • activities you've undertaken

  • relationships that are shifting or developing

​

Usually, one thing will float to the top as being most important, and we shine the light on that in our discussion. Before supervision starts, you will complete a brief questionnaire that helps me to understand more about your leadership context, aspirations and priorities.

​We engage in reflective dialogue and collaborative learning for the benefit and development of you and your school/organisation.

The 3 elements of supervision

"Knowing I am talking to someone who has dealt with similar things is hugely beneficial.

 The quality of the listening is appreciated – I really feel like I am seen and heard without judgement. The quality of empathy is very tangible."

Dominic, Headteacher

​

"I certainly would recommend this service to other Heads . . .  You helped me hold the mirror at a different angle to allow me to consider other points of view. This has helped me to move towards improvement."

Caroline, Headteacher

Why choose me as your supervisor?

My training as a coach and supervisor, coupled with my 10 years of headship experience in 2 very different schools (one a trust school and one an LA school), and significant experience in supporting leaders (including through NPQH delivery) mean I am well placed to provide this support. Emotional agility (holding space for and validating emotions) is central to my work in all the services I provide, and it is particularly significant in headteacher supervision.

I'm pleased to be a member of CoPSiEbE, an organisation whose mission is to advocate for high quality supervision in the education sector. The community supports educators with supervision qualifications to make themselves known in the sector. Their working definition of supervision in education is as follows: 

‘Supervision in education is a non-judgemental, collaborative process where education practitioners are supported to reflect on their values, practice, relationships, the emotional demands of their work and the impact of these and the wider education system on their psychological wellbeing. It can contribute to best practice, effective relationships, enhanced wellbeing, and professional and personal development.’
