Targeted, in-school support to improve teaching, strengthen practice, and raise student outcomes

If you’re looking to move beyond one-off CPD and create sustained improvement across your department, this coaching model provides practical, tailored support where it matters most—your classrooms.

I work alongside MFL teams to identify key priorities, refine classroom practice, and support teachers in making meaningful, lasting changes.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Each coaching day is tailored to your department, but typically includes:

Understanding Your Context

  • Initial discussion to identify priorities and focus areas

  • Alignment with department and whole-school goals

Lesson Visits and Insight Gathering

  • Informal, supportive observations across the department

  • Focus on agreed areas (e.g. routines, formative assessment, retrieval, engagement)

Focused Feedback and Discussion

  • Professional dialogue with the Head of Department

  • Clear identification of strengths and next steps

  • Practical, manageable recommendations

The Impact

Departments I work with typically see:

  • Increased student confidence in speaking and participation

  • More consistent classroom practice across the team

  • Improved retention of key language

  • Greater clarity and confidence among teachers

  • Practical strategies that reduce workload

Who This Is For

This is particularly effective for:

  • Departments looking to improve consistency across teaching

  • Teams focusing on routines, retrieval, or engagement

  • Heads of Department wanting structured, practical support

  • Schools looking for CPD with clear, lasting impact

A More Sustained Approach (Optional)

Many schools choose to extend this into a longer-term coaching partnership, with multiple visits to support implementation and review impact over time.
