An independent PGC gives you an expert external perspective
that supports your own professional development and continuous improvement as a leader.
One of the biggest challenges you face as a school leader on top of dealing with day to day operations, is that very often, you’re working in isolation.
While being able to confide in or bounce ideas around with senior leaders and other colleagues is your everyday starting point, there are times and situations where it is inappropriate to discuss issues with specific individuals or within your team.
You will benefit from
- An external perspective from a confidential mentor and trusted sounding board
- A personalised programme which both supports and challenges you
- Meaningful pathways addressing your own career development and key leadership interests
- Opportunity for deep reflective thinking, and support goal setting, along with constructive, objective feedback to help you critique and refine existing processes and practices
- Relevant, targeted resources that keep you connected to credible evidence-based research and best practice
Our consultants have first-hand experience in school leadership and not only understand the unique nature of the educational ecosystem, but also incorporate internationally proven coaching frameworks that enable you to gain deeper insight into how you best lead.
All in all, having that external guide to work through your PGC with you fosters accountability, transparency and follow-through, and provides you with a clear focus on continuous improvement for you, as well as your staff members and student outcomes.
Recommended PGC options:
- 360 degree review
- Cultural capability coaching
- Access to on-call advisory support, online or in person
- Incorporating different kinds of development tools, eg CliftonStrengths

Rob is an experienced ex Principal and is knowledgable and passionate about the work he does. He helped me gain insight into my strengths and how best to put them to work in my work.
