Testimonials

“Just following up on this webinar, which I attended in April, to say how useful it was. It was great to hear from Headteachers about their ‘real’ experiences in Ofsted, rather than listening to consultants or even inspectors themselves. We had our Ofsted inspection at my school in June, and during the inspection I used some of the themes or questions that were suggested by others in the webinar. To try and ‘pay it forward’, I just wanted to say that if you’re looking for Headteachers to support a similar course in the Autumn term, I’d be happy to help with this.”

I valued the opportunity to bring along members of our leadership team and was appreciative of this quality, funded workshop.

Jonny Uttley: Leadership in Uncertain Times
June 2023

I’ve been coming to conference for 15 years and this was by far the best one I’ve ever come to. Interesting and relevant speakers, time to catch up with old friends and the opportunity to let the hair down - all very much appreciated.
