‘Calum led my HT performance management process in a way that was genuinely developmental and highly impactful.
The inclusion of coaching sessions set it apart from any process I had experienced before, giving me space to reflect, gain clarity and think strategically as a leader.
Ongoing check-ins reinforced a strong sense of support, and the coaching had a direct impact on how I now lead performance management in school.’
Primary School Headteacher
‘Calum’s headteacher appraisal service has been invaluable in supporting my leadership and professional development. The structured, focused coaching sessions – held away from the demands of school – create the space needed to think deeply about key areas of concern and to approach them with clarity and purpose.
I would highly recommend Calum’s service to any school leader seeking thoughtful, professional, and impactful coaching support.’
Headteacher
My distinctive approach to appraisal brings the very best practice from executive coaching and consulting to ensure that headteachers are supported in the most effective way possible to maximise their performance. High-quality, professional appraisal discussions are supported by additional coaching sessions with the headteacher. This sustained approach to appraisal maximises impact towards the identified development path for the school.
My own experience in school leadership enables me to understand the realities facing headteachers and governors. Headteacher wellbeing underpins the process to promote sustainable leadership effectiveness and an appropriate approach to accountability.
Appraisal should not simply be a routine ‘tick-box’ exercise, but this is often the experience for many headteachers and governors. If you feel this may have been the case in the past, investing in Eamont Education’s distinctive and proven approach to appraisal would be a wise decision.
