In response to a growing demand to professionalise coaching in education settings, including one-to-one coaching, team coaching and leadership coaching, the coaching professional apprenticeship is designed to provide senior teachers and education leaders with the tools and techniques to improve the quality of teaching and learning in schools and Multi-Academy Trusts and to embed coaching within an organisation’s wider practice, approach, and culture.

The Coaching Professional in Education Apprenticeship ensures coaches in schools have the advanced theory, skills, and strategies to empower and engage others to enhance their professional performance. Professional coaches build the self-belief of other teachers, encouraging them to be curious and self-aware, better equipping them to collaborate, innovate and deal with the many challenges faced in educational establishments daily. 

Effective coaching is future-focused, releases potential, and enables transition, transformation and change for long-term, sustainable improvement. Professional coaching skills also create effective leaders who foster a growth culture by raising aspirations, providing meaningful feedback and holding people accountable for their actions. Coaches empower teaching staff to drive their organisation forward by embedding a collaborative culture of continual, sustained improvement to realise both professional and organisational goals.
