I specialise in heads' and senior staff appraisals, mentoring, teacher training, performance management, INSET and accreditation visits for schools wishing to join HMC. 

Appraisal

 

 

I spend a lot of my time as an HMC Authorised Appraiser working with current Heads on their professional development.

I am a member of HMC Heads' Appraisal Panel, appraising many Headteachers of HMC and IAPS schools on a regular basis.

I have also helped two major HMC boarding schools set up  new appraisal systems.
