" Tara has worked with the academy for 4 years as a school improvement partner and a leadership coach. She has coached our middle and senior leaders individually and in groups - the feedback from colleagues has always been excellent. Her knowledge and professionalism have given colleagues the trust and confidence to open up to her, and this has impacted positively on their performance. I've personally worked with her individually for a number of years, and I value her experience, candour and professionalism."
- Tim Body, Headteacher, Westfield Academy
“I have been working with Tara for a number of years now in my SLT role with responsibility for teaching and learning. Tara's open and frank approach enables her to quickly establish a professional yet friendly rapport with staff, based on trust and mutual respect - this allows her to effectively deliver training or coaching resulting in staff feeling empowered and ready to implement change.
Tara has been instrumental in helping me develop a subject audit protocol in our school, where curriculum leaders greatly benefit from her expert advice and guidance."

“As a newly qualified SENCO in a large mainstream school, I knew there was lots to learn and many areas around SEND provision that needed developing. At the start of my journey I had several 1:1 sessions with Tara and she helped build my confidence from the ground up. This resulted in me delivering whole school training - something I had always feared due to my lack of confidence in public speaking.
Tara's support has been nothing short of transformative - empowering me as a leader and helping me to embed a culture of inclusion across the school.”
- Kim Symonds,
SENCO Inclusion Lead,
Westfield Academy
" Tara has contributed to the progression and development of our staff over many years. As a former teacher, she understands the dynamics of interplay between professional development and the demands of the education sector. By bringing in an astute external perspective, Tara's sessions open doors to new knowledge or new approaches in a way that supersedes our general working practice. Be it one-to-one coaching sessions or group training, the quality of materials is always challenging, and Tara's personable nature strikes the balance between challenge and coach perfectly."
- Andy Dunne, Headteacher, Newman Catholic College
“I have worked with Tara for the last 2 years, planning, implementing and embedding a new coaching programme at the Academy. She has been incredibly supportive in this. Our meetings have focused on the priorities for the Academy, and how this can be translated into a coaching programme that develops the classroom practise of all colleagues, and how they can be supported and challenged through our coaching trios.
Tara's experience in coaching has been especially helpful, and her work with me has always been understanding and developmental in growing our own programme."
- Peter Creber,
Deputy Head, Westfield Academy
“Working with Tara felt easy - like chatting with a friend - but one who helped me become more effective. Her process gave me space to reflect, explore ideas, and be constructively challenged, encouraging me to view situations from different perspectives and uncover practical solutions.
Tara also supported me in building confidence and clarity, particularly when preparing for Trust Board presentations. I deeply value the opportunity to work with her and wholeheartedly recommend her coaching."
