WHAT DO HEADS IN SCHOOLS SAY ABOUT THE SUPPORT WE OFFER?
"Our Office Review led by Katherine Parker (Impetus Education Consultant) was so useful. Her experience and her fresh pair of eyes, looking at our existing set up was just what we needed to improve efficiency. The Review very much celebrated what we already have and brought out the best a group of highly skilled people whose roles have evolved over time……. but maybe were more matched to the person they took over from! Lots of points for development and actions to be taken Feedback from staff involved was also very positive. The office is such an important part of the school and if it is not run efficiently it can take time and resources away from teaching and learning. Run well, it has a positive impact on everything!"
‘I have had two sessions with Kate now and have walked away feeling more confident and lighter! We discuss scenarios and work together to bring solutions to light which I can use each day. I know I am a thinker and this way it plants a seed which I can run with. Thanks Kate!’
‘We wish to express our sincere gratitude to Jan for her exceptional leadership in conducting our school's website review. The turnaround was quick and efficient. Jan's professionalism, insightful feedback, and actionable recommendations have significantly bolstered our governance and leadership efforts. Her expertise ensured not only compliance with statutory requirements but also emphasised the unique qualities of our school and the community we serve. Jan's contribution has been instrumental in enhancing our school's digital presence.’
