Peer Support for Prep School Heads.
Are you carrying the weight of your school entirely on your own shoulders?
Who do you turn to when the pressure of leading your school becomes overwhelming?
Feeling Isolated?
As a Prep School Head, you are expected to be everything to everyone. But balancing intense operational targets with the heavy pressure of daily leadership can leave you feeling deeply isolated. Your emotional wellbeing matters, yet finding a safe space to voice your worries, test your plans, or simply say, ‘I'm struggling with this’ is incredibly difficult when you can’t show vulnerability to your Deputy or your Chair of Governors.
You do not have to navigate this alone.
Having spent 25 years leading four Prep Schools, serving as a schools group CEO, and acting as Chair of IAPS, I know exactly what you are experiencing. I provide dedicated, long-term leadership support tailored specifically to you. By working alongside you for 10 to 20 days a year, I act as your trusted ally, helping you manage complex scenarios and protect your emotional wellbeing. No judgment, no short-term fixes - just real, practical support from someone who has walked in your shoes.
You don’t have to do all of this on your own. Let me get alongside you and help share the load.
What I can do for you.
I aim to work alongside you in any area of leadership and management, providing a listening ear and constructive advice.
I have particular experience in the following:
Balancing the demands of the Head’s role to ensure effectiveness and personal wellbeing
Acting with honesty and transparency as a listening ear as well as a constructive critic
Strategic planning, whole school development and delivery of targets
Coping with the expectations and demands of the Governors, the parents and the staff
Getting the best out of the SLT - looking at roles and responsibilities, as well as leadership styles
Staff restructuring - getting maximum impact from current staff while being realistic about the school’s financial requirements
