EmpowerED: Headteacher Appraisal That Supports Your Leadership Journey
Statutory compliance, professional growth, lasting impact.
Why EmpowerED – Headteacher Appraisal + Executive Coaching?
Too often, headteacher appraisal is treated as a once-a-year formality — a meeting, a set of tick-boxes, and little else.
EmpowerED changes that.
We combine a full statutory appraisal process with the depth and value of executive coaching, giving you one trusted partner for both compliance and professional growth. You’ll meet your DfE requirements and leave with practical strategies, renewed focus, and a clear plan for the year ahead.
Designed for headteachers and governing bodies in UK and British international primary schools, EmpowerED delivers a streamlined process with minimal paperwork, constructive challenge, and a clear focus on leadership development. The result? A compliant appraisal that genuinely supports your role, your wellbeing, and your school’s success.
How It Works
1. Pre-meeting preparation – We’ll review your current priorities, performance data, and context so your appraisal starts with clarity.
2. Start-of-year appraisal meeting – Agree on objectives that meet statutory requirements and align with your personal and school development goals.
3. Three executive coaching sessions – Including a mid-year review, to keep you on track, work through challenges, and celebrate progress.
4. End-of-year appraisal – A constructive conversation to review evidence, reflect on growth, and set up for the year ahead.
