    Book now for Headteacher Wellbeing – Building Psychological Flexibility to Respond Well to Challenges

    by Hannah Richardson -

    Following the success of our Investing in School Leaders Conference 2024, we are pleased to offer this seminar to continue our focus on supporting school leaders in strengthening their wellbeing.

    With: Hazel Anderson-Turner, Business Psychologist and Mindset Coach.
    Hazel presented at our conference in March 2024 and will be leading a half-day session aimed at supporting leaders to develop skills and have practical strategies to be supported in staying well whilst managing contexts.

    Hazel will focus on helping build psychological flexibility, enabling us to think better, make better choices and to navigate our emotions in a healthier way, supporting us to consciously respond to challenges rather than instinctively react.

    We expect the session to be stimulating and practical, building on the strong positive response to her input in March. The session will finish with a further input about parental engagement and strategies to positively support this.

    by Hannah Richardson -

    These webinars are aimed at those secondary schools that are in the Ofsted window during 2024/2025. Participants will be secondary headteachers accompanied by their chairs of governors. 

    The online session will include some general reminders about the changes Ofsted have made to the inspection process including the lived difference between a graded and ungraded inspection. The session will refer to recent school experiences, weave through ongoing changes and adjustments to the Framework and provide a practical approach to ensure school leaders remain confident throughout their inspection. 

    The webinars will be led by a member of the HIAS Secondary Team and will invite input from some headteachers who have recently experienced inspection.

    Join us for the 24-25 Ofsted Briefing - Education Inspection Framework 2019 – 28 November 2024

    by Hannah Richardson -

    These termly briefings aim to deepen the knowledge and understanding of headteachers and chairs of governors in respect of the current Ofsted inspection framework. The sessions are particularly targeted at schools who are likely to be inspected by the end of the summer term 2025.

    There will be opportunities to review information relating to the latest national and local inspection trends and patterns and consider implications for their own school. Additional input will be provided by headteachers of schools that have been recently inspected under the current framework (2019) and members of the primary phase inspector team who support schools through the process.

    A senior leader and chair of governors are invited to attend but do not need to book a place. Headteachers who have booked a place will receive the course details, which they should share.

    The course price entitles a school to three places at the briefing (the headteacher, senior leader, and chair of governors).
