For Educators

Your staff are committed—but stretched

The pedagogy is great, but there are challenges in managing or leading others  

The emotional load of the job is as demanding as the work itself  

Expectations keep rising, but time and capacity don’t  

You want to support your people, but not by adding “one more thing”  

Education is a different world.  
And it needs support that reflects that reality.

A more practical way forward

We bring fresh and relevant people leadership models into education settings, not focusing on pedagogy (we know if you teach you’re already good at that) but on getting the best out of people.

We help you get the basics right—so the day-to-day becomes more manageable:
- Clearer expectations  
- Better conversations between colleagues, students, and parents  
- More confident leadership at every level  
- Stronger, more resilient teams  

Not extra work—just a better way of doing the work you’re already doing.

Support staff wellbeing and resilience  
Practical, grounded approaches that acknowledge the real pressures of the role.

Strengthen leadership across your setting  
From classroom teachers, to business managers, site staff to senior leaders—building confidence and capability.

Improve everyday conversations  
Because small shifts in how people communicate can make a big difference.

Work with your reality, not against it  
Everything is shaped around your setting, your constraints, and your priorities.

What this might look like in practice

Individual or group coaching for CEOs, senior leaders, team leaders, specialist staff, site managers, teachers

“Whole school” workshops for INSET days

Group supervision and think tanks to support wellbeing and problem solving 

Development sessions that feel relevant and usable  

Support through periods of change or challenge  

Practical sessions that fit into the working day  

No jargon. No unrealistic expectations. Just support that works.

Just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the sessions you have delivered across the year. I have had a real year of it dealing with a number of staff issues and your guidance and advice has been absolutely invaluable to me, both in terms of taking ownership of what I needed to say and being authentic and genuine, believing in what I was asking them to do!....I know that you have really helped me! Thank you again and I hope we get to see you again soon!”

“As always, Sarah’s training has been highly effective in supporting my leadership journey. The training is both informative and enjoyable. Bare leadership has helped me to reflect as a leader on my own practice. I have been able to look at a solution-based approach and the use of scaling to help me to move forward, understanding where I am and where I want to go next. The miracle question was a real eye opener in considering what the best outcome would look like”

“Just wanted to add an additional thank you for the Bare Leadership sessions. I found them very insightful and have certainly supported me in day-to-day practice! Subject leaders have also been so positive about the feedback sessions you had with them in the Spring term. It was so lovely to hear how useful they found the session and wanted to pass this feedback back to you”
