£900 could keep them and pays for itself the moment one middle leader stays
Your middle leaders are working at unsustainable levels.
The 55-hour week, high-stakes accountability and the relentless intensity of the modern classroom are pushing your best people to the edge.
When they leave, you don't just lose a member of staff.
You lose institutional knowledge, departmental stability, and the trust their teams had in leadership.
Then you pay £3,000 to £6,000 to find a replacement, and start the cycle again.
This is the leaky bucket.
And no amount of recruitment will fix it if you can't retain the leaders you've already grown.

The Growth Network provides facilitated peer coaching communities for your middle leadership team - delivered in your school, with your staff, at a fraction of the cost of one agency recruitment fee.
• Five one-hour facilitated sessions covering Resilience, Mission, Values, Objectives and Habits
• Delivered within your school or trust for up to ten middle leaders
• Full year's access to all online resources, events and the wider Growth Network community
• Pre and post Wellbeing & Impact Audit - giving you concrete data on staff retention, morale and leadership capacity to share with Governors
• The Cascade Model - participants are equipped to coach their own teams, so the value spreads across your school long after the sessions end
• External supervision for your middle leaders - so they have a confidential space to process the intensity of the role
• Reduced attrition - leaders who feel supported, clear-headed and professionally capable are far less likely to leave the role or the school
• Increased capacity - leaders who've learned ruthless prioritisation and deep work strategies spend less time firefighting and more time leading
• A culture shift - from reactive moaning to proactive problem-solving
School-based delivery: North London and Hertfordshire only. (In-person delivery outside this area is available with additional travel costs.) Online delivery: UK-wide. Bespoke arrangements available, contact us to discuss your needs.

(Introductory price: £450 for founding schools)
5 x 1-hour introductory sessions, plus 1 community session for up to ten middle leaders, full year access to all resources and community events, and the pre/post Impact Audit.
What we measure
• Retention risk: confidence in sustaining the role without compromising health
• Operational capacity: the shift from reactive firefighting to strategic, proactive leadership
• Cultural agency: the reduction in problems being escalated upward to SLT
• Biological markers: working hours and the ability to 'switch off' outside school
This gives you concrete evidence to share with Governors and inspectors so show that your investment in staff wellbeing is delivering measurable results.

If you're a Multi-Academy Trust or a school with specific needs, we can build you a bespoke package.
E.g. INSET days, ongoing senior leadership coaching, or a multi-year development programme.
Tell us what you need, and we'll build it together.
