A two-part strategic conference designed to sharpen collective clarity, strengthen leadership identity and embed the Kanevolve Balanced Leadership framework 

Six Individual Coaching Sessions per Leader

Personalised, face-to-face coaching for each senior leader, underpinned by the Balanced Leader profiling tool and structured leadership reflection. Coaching focused on executive authority, strategic alignment, capacity building and disciplined implementation

Stronger Executive Authority

Leaders demonstrate clearer expectations, firmer boundary-setting and greater confidence in senior roles. Tentative language has reduced, credibility has increased and leadership identity is more anchored.

Horizontal System Thinking

Strategic thinking has matured beyond individual portfolios. Leaders are now designing improvement horizontally across attendance, curriculum, pastoral systems and character.

Capacity Building over Rescue

There is a visible shift from over-functioning to developing others. Senior leaders increasingly require solution-focused dialogue, embed coaching-led accountability and build independence in middle leadership.

Improved Alignment and Emotional Regulation

The SLT is demonstrably more mature, strategically aligned and emotionally regulated. Psychological safety is strengthening, relational repair is addressed directly, and distributed leadership confidence is growing.

The Senior Leadership Team has moved from navigating operational pressure reactively to operating with greater authority, coherence and system design.

The trajectory remains strongly positive. The next phase focuses on embedding disciplined strategic habits so that executive alignment becomes sustained and predictable — positioning The Lowry Academy for long-term, sequenced school improvement
