Peer Coaching Training for Headteachers

There are two elements to this training. 

  1. We have commissioned Gateway Allianceto provide 3 webinars led by expert leadership coaches (see below). These webinars are for Headteachers and are FREE to Warwickshire schools. The webinars will explore different aspects of leadership coaching and will provide excellent CPD for headteachers who are interested in finding out more about this approach, whether they wish to become a peer coach themselves or not.

You can book your place at these webinars through the Gateway Alliance website: www.gatewayalliance.co.uk/finder/ just search subject ‘Coaching’.

NB All heads are welcome to attend the webinars – this does not commit you to become a peer coach, however if you wish to become a peer coach and join the Warwickshire register, we ask that you attend the webinars AND the training below.

  1. We would like to develop a register of Warwickshire headteacher peer coaches which could be shared with schools for an individual arrangement, or may be brokered by the LA school improvement team.  In view of the current situation for all heads, we would not expect to draw from this register until summer 2021 at the earliest.

If you are interested in joining this team, we would like you to attend the webinars above and three sessions to be delivered by Catherine Nyman, an experienced professional coach, who many primary colleagues will know through her school improvement and coaching work.

Most headteachers who would like to undertake the training would be those from schools in categories A and B (from 2019 categorisation) and with good senior leadership capacity in their own schools, but we know that there will be colleagues in category C schools who will also feel in a secure position and would be happy to discuss this further.
