"My HT performance Management Meeting was pitched to perfection!

Oli took the time to unpick the complexities of my school before reviewing previous objectives. This reassured me that any objectives set for myself this year were going to be relevant, essential to school improvement and my own professional development. I felt supported and understood. 

I also felt that this wasn't a 'tick box exercise' and that my role was valued and respected! This made me value the process, which for many years has not been the case. So glad I made the decision to work with Inclusive Improvement. Thank you again for your support and expertise."

"Inclusive Improvement has supported with my performance management and creating a new School Development Plan. Oli had a friendly approach to the PM meeting which put governors at ease and he very efficiently completed all of the paperwork prior to leaving the school site.  

During the meeting to write the SDP, Oli helped senior leaders to focus on the achievements of the past few months and identify key areas for development. Oli added the conversations and points raised to the SDP during the meeting so we were presented with a comprehensive plan at the end of the afternoon. 

I would highly recommend Inclusive Improvement to any colleagues whether you are at the beginning of your headship journey or have been leading a school for a number of years and need a fresh pair of eyes to help focus your school improvement priorities."

The process highlighted the uniqueness of our offer at HHNS and reminded us of the exceptional support we provide to children and families. This insight directly inspired our staff during a Visioning and Values INSET, reinforcing their pride and motivation.
