Overview
For the leaders shaping the future of education
School and system leaders are carrying more than ever. Staffing pressures, increasing classroom complexities, student wellbeing, community expectations, funding constraints and constant change are all part of the landscape leaders are working within.
We work with schools and systems to develop the leadership capability that makes a genuine difference, from the emerging middle leader finding their feet to the system leader building a culture that can sustain itself through change.

Testimonials
“Through thoughtful guidance and structured sessions, I was able to explore new perspectives, refine my leadership approach, and gain greater clarity in navigating challenges. The programme provided a supportive space to think critically, grow in confidence, and apply practical strategies that have had a lasting impact on my role.”
Lorna McGregor
Principal, Wallbrook Primary Academy
"The residential was by far one of the most powerfully affecting events I've attended... The workshop facilitators were exceptionally skilled at creating a safe space in which we could all explore deep introspection - we got so much out of the two days as a result."
James Higham
CEO, Transforming Lives Educational Trust
"I always come out of my coaching sessions feeling optimistic, confident, capable, buoyant, and reacquainted with my love of education - because sometimes that disappears with the stress of the job... I come out feeling optimistic and that I can carry on doing the job I'm doing."
Christopher Lamb
Headteacher, Enfield Grammar School
"My executive coach and I had a great rapport that moved my leadership knowledge, skills and behaviours along immeasurably. I would whole-heartedly recommend BTS Spark Coaching to anyone in the education sector."
Mark Beyer-Woodgate
Director of Teaching School Hub, Harris Academy Chafford Hundred
"My coach was able to build an understanding of where I was as a leader and equally as a person thus allowing for exceptionally intuitive questioning that delved deeply into aspects of my leadership that have made a profound difference to my practise and as a result my establishment and professional relationships.”
Laura Crossley
Deputy CEO and School Improvement Lead, The Heath Academy Trust
"My coach's insight, listening and intellectual connection and sophistication about the intricacies of systemic leadership against human leadership was something I could not have been successful on the NPQEL without. And indeed in my role. Incredible."
