"I'm genuinely looking forward to the next session. I've never, ever, looked forward to a moderation meeting before!"
Teacher
"Amazing moderation session from Pobble this morning. Focusing on the writing. The platform is going to transform moderation across school and can't wait to get started."
Headteacher
"Laura facilitated three really useful writing moderations last year to our 13 primary schools in our trust. Using Pobble meant none of the teachers needed to travel and they were able to upload their writing onto Pobble to share with other colleagues. Laura’s communication throughout was exceptional and the online meetings were well organised. Teachers are able to celebrate writing and also offer feedback on next steps for individual writers! It has really helped to gain a shared approach to assessing writing."
School Improvement Lead
"Absolutely the best writing moderation training I've had - and the Pobble moderation tool will help the process enormously"
Executive Headteacher
"I found this useful, both in terms of moderating writing but also general discussion about teaching writing. Reduced travel for all involved is a good thing in terms of time and the environment."
Teacher, North Yorkshire
"I just wanted to express how valuable the experience of moderation was. It was a great opportunity to share my knowledge of the TAF and celebrate my children’s successes.
It has inspired me to potentially become a moderator in the future.
My thanks to Laura and the team."
Year 6 teacher
“Good to be able to use it to compare and moderate work across schools to make it easier to moderate with others, without having to meet face to face."

We have taken a look at One Education's Governor Support training and we were impressed with several key aspects:
- Their certified training covers a wide range of essential topics, including new governor induction and Ofsted preparation, and all in alignment with DfE expectations.
- Their expert team of former inspectors, governance leaders, and subject matter specialists shows that they have significant expertise to support Governors.
- Their flexible, accessible course format is a huge benefit for busy governors, and the fact that Governors can contact the team for support when they need to is really helpful.

I have used Perspective at three different schools now.

This allows continuity and ensures easy cross-referencing of information to determine the school's strengths and next steps.

We have used Perspective for a number of years now, both to receive regular, invaluable and easy to interpret assessment and monitoring information from our Local Authority, but also at a school level too, for performance management, lesson observations and, more recently for our school development plan. We LOVE Perspective and find it an easy tool to use to support the monitoring and evaluation work of our leadership teams. The efficiency of the system saves us hours of administrative time and information is stored securely in one place- no more searching for documents. Formatting is already done for the teams and this allows for standardisation in presentation. Reports are easy to interrogate and intuitive- no more multiple versions to corrupt! Any queries are quickly addressed by the team at Angel Solutions and our account manager has been a great source of support and guidance- no query is too small or too big to be resolved. Having an ex- Headteacher who just ‘gets it’ is very re-assuring too! I have been so impressed with Perspective that I have recommended it to a number of colleagues in my own local authority and I know they have also embraced Perspective too!

In doing so, they were able to bring me back to what motivated me to do this job in the first place. They showed me how to get back in control, renew my purpose and zeal for my job.

We have a seven steps to success model which covers all of our programmes and is unique to Integrity Coaching (PDF attached).
Overview:
Our Seven Steps to Success model enables Headteachers to overcome the self-doubt, worry, overwhelm and fear that so often accompanies them when the pressures of the role become too much.
Our model has developed over decades of work with hundreds of Headteachers. Through our work, we have distilled seven components that run across all our services for equipping Headteachers with the knowledge, skills and confidence to move beyond surviving to thriving in their roles.
By adopting the seven steps to success model, Headteachers can better nurture themselves; hence the curation of a better hope for future generations, fuelled the authentic expression of their unique vision and purpose.
Empower: Our services help Headteachers to use coaching strategically to foster collaboration, continuous improvement, and staff development. They learn how to communicate the benefits of coaching effectively, inspiring stakeholders with a compelling vision.
Encourage: Headteachers are supported to overcome hesitations and fears in difficult conversations and dealing with challenging personalities. Coaching is emphasised to facilitate meaningful dialogue, support, and guidance for professional growth.
Exploration of Self: Individuals are supported to embark on a journey of self-examination, aligning personal values with the school's mission. This introspection empowers them to drive positive change and shape a better future for their school and community.
Empathic Accuracy: Individuals develop deep listening skills to understand others' needs and provide tailored coaching support.
Embracing Inclusivity: Participants explore creating an inclusive educational community, supported with resources to tackle this challenge effectively.
Envision: School leaders envision how coaching can transform their lives, relationships, and communities, equipped with transformative coaching tools to use both with themselves and others.
Engage in Action: Our work equips individuals with skills to help embed coaching into professional development and performance management processes, fostering a culture of coaching for positive change.
By leveraging the Seven Steps to Success we give hope to Headteachers. Through enabling greater degrees of personal effectiveness and equipping participants with transformative coaching tools, we empower them to remain beacons of hope and inspiration for future generations.

Mobile app for parents to stay informed about their child's education
We love how inviting the app is to use, how simple it is for schools to access and to see real time information on how to support children with their reading. We can see that children’s reading will improve using the app, and that children will love using it.
Fonetti, The Read Aloud App, is the award-winning speech recognition reading platform where children read aloud, receiving instant feedback and encouragement as they go. It has been proven that 74% of children improve their reading fluency and confidence when reading with Fonetti regularly.
When children read the words aloud correctly, the advanced speech recognition turns them green. If they skip or misread a word, it turns subtly grey and they can simply double tap the word when they are ready for an audible clue.
“I’m a massive fan of Fonetti because of the inventive way it makes reading fun, engages young readers and captures their imaginations.
I have always wanted to be involved in something that has the ability to change the world and I believe that this is that business which is why I agreed to support the business and become it’s Brand Ambassador.”
Clare Balding CBE
Broadcaster, Presenter & Author
Reading 1:1 with children and completing reading interventions in school can be time consuming tasks - Fonetti is a perfect way to overcome this problem. Children can use the app independently and read books at their level with no adults needed at all.
Our unique AI analyses pupil reading data from the Fonetti app, reporting to teachers via dynamic dashboards in our web-based school portal.
The Fonetti School Portal provides teachers with accurate, personalised pupil assessment data to support their pupils’ individual reading needs and identify vital next steps.

'You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf' - Jon Kabat Zinn
We always begin our journey with staff - they can't help pupils to become more emotionally resilient if they aren't in the right place. We empower staff to take ownership of their own wellbeing through our online CPD programme to make surfing life's waves a little easier! We measure impact with pre/post wellbeing evaluation.
Over 2500 educators have completed our programmes and report positive impacts on
- sleep and overall wellbeing
- relational presence and connection
- emotional regulation and agency
Once staff have completed our wellbeing CPD programme, we move on to pupil wellbeing. We have easy to implement and engaging schemes of work for Early Years through to early secondary.
The main benefits that teachers report are:
Improved emotional regulation
Increased attention and awareness
Improved social and emotional skills
We also provide a free, inspiring online programme for parents/carers - often they are struggling and children are going home to dysregulated parents/carers. We want to involve them, give them the skills, shared language and simple yet effective practical strategies for themselves and their children.
Our aim is to help schools and settings to nurture a calm, kind and mindful culture.
Leadership Edge helps to promote your school's culture by establishing expectations for how individuals should feel, communicate, and act toward one another.
It inspires staff to take charge of their personal welfare, professional development, and working relationships.
It gives your strategic vision, leadership style, and personal energy by giving you some headspace to support yourself.
This coaching programme allows a school to train, grow and support staff through non-directive coaching, developing a common understanding and allowing staff to feel empowered to bring their best self to school. Leadership Edge’s programmes are well thought through and has proven results in helping staff to grow and develop. If you’re looking for coaching programmes to help develop staff, then we recommend that you contact Leadership Edge.
Leadership Edge offer a 3-tier ‘non-directive coaching’ package to improve a school’s culture, ways of working and staff well-being. This style involves participants being supported to use their own expertise and find their own solutions rather than being directed from above within a hierarchical structure.
Leadership Edge believe that to be successful, coaches supporting others within school need to have experienced the coaching process before they can begin to support colleagues effectively, hence a tiered approach.
I often feel my coaching sessions are my sanity check! I can't see a time in the future when I won't need to have them, they make me think with greater clarity and explore the issues that are holding me back.

This is a really clever way to show how you respond to stress, and what to do about it.
Stress is something that can be reduced with techniques and strategies, and Pursuit Well-Being’s Heart Health programme will help you to identify key stresses and learn how to deal with them in a positive and constructive way.
For more information, visit https://pursuitwellbeing.com/headteacher-wellbeing-training/.
Heart Health for Headteachers is a short program consisting of four sessions that focus on coaching, biofeedback technology, and education/training to help headteachers effectively manage stress and improve heart health.
The program can be conducted for individuals or small groups of 3-8 participants.
“I’m not going to lie, I was reluctant to be signed up for this programme. For context, I’m a Primary Headteacher with reason to be concerned about heart health and I wasn’t keen to know the worst about my heart.
That, however, is not what the programme has been all about.
I have come away with a greater understanding of the impact of my heart health and my emotional state; a greater capacity to redress the balance when things are stressful and a new found willingness to share with my colleagues. It’s been enlightening – and I find myself to be largely ‘coherent’.” Headteacher JUNIOR SCHOOL
“I found the sessions to be highly effective and uncovering the science behind emotional responses really helped deal with stressful situations. This is not what you would expect from a well-being session, and I would highly recommend them.
I am continuing to apply what I have learnt on a daily basis.”

TRUGS is a great way to teach phonics. Children will love learning phonics by playing TRUGS. It’s a great resource, and so easy to use.
Trugs® is a phonics based reading resource for school and home. Trugs is a fun way to support those learning to read.
Trugs (for teachers), trugs at home (for parents) is a systematic synthetic phonics group of resources to enable anyone to help a child/student to progress their level of reading/spelling. The structured decodable card games combines the professional phonics side of learning with the fun side of playing card games in a hugely, effective and engaging way. The pupils will be succeeding in a manner that captures their enthusiasm and achieves incidental learning.
By reading the words within the card games at the selected Stage pupils are able to practise reading by sounding out the phonemes in a word from left to right and blending them together all through the word until they can read the word automatically.
Trugs are reversible games. So where the games can be used as reading games, they can also be used as spelling games, reminding them that spelling is the reverse of reading. For reading we look at a written word and blend sounds; for spelling we listen to a spoken word and segment it to identify the sounds.
By using trugs you can practise, reinforce and consolidate reading and spelling, safe in the knowledge that by playing the games and having fun, the most effective teaching methods are being followed.
We really like their thoughtfully produced high quality products. Amy spends a lot of time getting to know you and your school and creating a bespoke, personalised service, tailored to your individual needs.

The BoomWriter App provides schools with an online writing platform. It is a quick and easy app to use for both adults in schools and parents at home.
We looked at BoomWriter and these are our thoughts:
We love this fantastic digital writing platform that is affordable, easy-to-use, and accessible for parents, pupils, and staff.
It removes the need for paper-based writing books for remote learning. All work is saved on the platform for teacher, parents, and classmates to review.
We like the reward system which encourages children to write.
Pupils have their own login information to share their own writing with school and so that they can comment about the books that they are writing.
We like the fact that you can see how the child’s writing has progressed throughout their time at school.
We love the fact that schools and parents can purchase a published book of their children’s writing.
We think the children will love the opportunity to gain digital rewards for writing and to be able to create avatars.
An online writing platform that inspires engagement in the writing process
Schools can choose from a range of Book Packs (and adapt them to meet their needs). These Book Packs will include resources to support schools to plan their writing projects. Schools can also use GoWrite+ for individual writing activities that do not have a published outcome, but still support the features of BoomWriter™ - designed to support remote learning. Schools can use BoomWrite to enhance their current writing provision and build it into existing curriculum.
The BoomWriter app has been incredibly effective at engaging pupils at home and in school.
During these unusual times, we have been able to encourage all children to partake in the class Leavers Book.I have found the site incredibly accessible, as have the children.
They have particularly enjoyed star casting each other's work (the anonymous feature is a brilliant way for all entries to be judged fairly).
I feel confident and enthusiastic about embracing further writing projects in the future. Many thanks."
Miss Higgins - SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School
