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
How we work
- 01
Conversation
We start with a conversation — you, the head, the chair if it's relevant. We listen first. No deck, no pitch.
- 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.
- 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.
- 04
Do the work
We embed in the school, working alongside your leaders. Weekly working sessions, not monthly status calls.
- 05
Hand back
We leave behind systems your team owns, with a clear plan for the next twelve months.
