Testimonials

I was able to use the KALE menopause policy and resources to support a member of staff who was thinking of leaving because of her struggles with menopausal symptoms. I’m really pleased that she has decided to stay.

Menopause Feedback

“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.”
