More Confident
"Thank you for your coaching Jeff; I am now making progress and feel more confident out of my comfort zone. This has been superb and ties in so well with my NPQH at a time when I am leading the school in an area of the curriculum. I have noticed a great change in our working relationship within the LMT and feel you have been directly responsible for this, the school feels more at ease and more ready to view the challenges of an inspection as an opportunity".
