Supervision for Head Teachers, Assistant Head Teachers, SENCO’s and those involved in Safe Guarding One Headteacher said it gives her:

Passion

People go into education because at some point they were passionate-it felt/feels like a calling. Over time this can get lost and one can become disconnected from this feeling under the weight of internal and external pressure

Overwhelmed and Lost

Educationalists come to Talking Heads because they want to be the best they can be…they know the value of taking an hour a month to truly be with all aspects of their work and non-work self with a person they trust and feel safe with. It is only with such a person that we can risk sharing what is not feeling ok, what we feel is not going well, maybe how unsure and afraid we are….

Isolation

Those in senior leadership roles in schools work in a culture that is currently about managing. I have experienced offering group supervision with a team in the same learning community. They could not use the group as needed and talk about difficult coping strategies as they still had to see each other at a meeting the next day. That is why I work with Senior Leaders in schools on a 1-2-1 basis.
