School Strategy

The work

First a conversation with you and the chair, then focused sessions with the board, the head and the senior team. The picture you get of where the school is, and where it isn't, is yours, whether or not we write the strategy together.

What's included

• Founders' conversation and board / SLT alignment sessions, yours to keep
• A single-page strategy with five-year horizons
• Quarterly operating rhythm: goals, owners, reviews
• Resource and capital planning to match

You might need this if

• The board, the head and the team are pulling in different directions
• You have a plan on paper that no one uses week to week
• Every decision feels urgent and nothing feels prioritised
• Growth has outpaced the structure that is supposed to hold it

How we work

1. 01

   Conversation

   We start with a conversation, you, the head, the chair if it's relevant. We listen first. No deck, no pitch.

2. 02

   Focus groups

   Then short, candid sessions with the people who run the day: teachers, parents, students, admissions, deputies. The picture that emerges is yours to keep, whether or not you decide to go further with us.

3. 03

   Decide together

   If it's a fit, we agree the three to five things that will actually move the dial, and what we're explicitly not doing, in writing, before any work starts.

4. 04

   Do the work

   We embed in the school, working alongside your leaders. Weekly working sessions, not monthly status calls.

5. 05

   Hand back

   We leave behind systems your team owns, with a clear plan for the next twelve months.
