    Clarissa Farr Consulting Limited works in partnership with school development professionals RSAcademics to build and develop leadership capability in today’s and tomorrow’s school leaders.

    RSAcademics is renowned for its work in identifying the best leadership talent. The company’s trusted experts now manage a high proportion of new senior appointments, across the UK independent sector and its international practice is rapidly expanding.

    The appointment of excellent people is only the start. Boards serious about performance and growth invest in developing and strengthening their leadership teams, whose challenges change all the time. They know that long term, this is the single most cost-effective way of maximising the school’s performance overall.

    As a qualified coach, Clarissa heads a small team of experts who drive that powerful continuing development, providing bespoke appraisal and coaching, for individuals and teams, across the UK and internationally.

     Clarissa says this:

    Being a head is one of the most complex leadership roles there is. Research shows that highly successful business leaders could learn from heads, who typically use a wider range of leadership styles, contributing directly to the performance of their staff. Headship has always been stretching - how much greater is that challenge now?

    Explore before committing with a conversation on Zoom or Teams. We look forward to talking to you.
