Case Study: Using coaching at the start of a major project

This case study illustrates how coaching was used to support a headteacher tasked with the major project of a school merger.

Overview

Anne, a headteacher was tasked with merging her successful school with a less successful neighbouring school. 

Approach

Through coaching, Anne was able to identify the detail of the challenges faced, create a vision and an action plan for bringing the second school up to standard.  During her sessions, Anne also worked with our coach to focus on maintaining her own energies and work-life balance.

Conclusion

Anne created autonomy within her senior team, enabling her to delegate effectively. She also created a communications strategy to involve staff, parents and the wider community.
