Even strong schools can have a significant gap between classrooms. Closing it takes more than another training day – it takes a shared approach to developing teachers. 

From individual leaders to collective impact:

Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking it through before you commit your leadership team? Here’s what we’re asked most often.

How much time does it take?

Two terms. That’s a two-hour scoping session and five one-day modules, each 4–6 weeks apart, so there’s time to put the thinking into practice between sessions

 Collective Leadership complements OTI, but OTI is not a prerequisite. Or it can work on its own as a stand-alone programme.

We help you select suitable cohorts during your scoping session—from middle leaders who are just too busy to those needing extra support.

Absolute clarity on your next steps, full instructional material to support ongoing development, and Learning Portfolios that log and sustain your progress.

Imagine a school where every leader isn't simply leading a department…
They're helping lead the whole school.
