Supervision for Head Teachers, Assistant Head Teachers, SENCO’s and those involved in Safe Guarding.
Why do people who work in Education come to supervision?
One Assistant Head from Warwickshire said it gives her
“the chance to reflect holistically on my practice, understand and share the blocks that were /are hampering me being the best me I can be at work - and subsequently out of work - and finding a place to offload my worries with regard to safeguarding and the toll it can take physically and mentally.”

Values and Visions is for every educator of 8- to 16-year-olds who has to deliver the curriculum, but wants to do it in their own way – a way that gives young people a holistic education which nourishes the mind, body and spirit and allows their innate qualities to flourish.
Our Mission
Values and Visions provides teachers with the tools to develop young people’s inner strength, confidence and sense of hope; to enable them to discover meaning and purpose and to empower them to be part of creating a sustainable future in a chaotic, volatile world.
Holistic
Values and Visions is a process that encourages the development of the whole person across the whole curriculum – socially, creatively, physically, spiritually, morally, and culturally. It provides a dynamic learning cycle that uses reason, reflection, and analysis alongside imagination, play, stillness, and mindfulness.
Practical
Starting with the everyday problems and challenges, Values and Visions provides experiences where young people realise for themselves what is important to them in life.
Tried and Tested
Twenty-five years of experience show that, if you do indeed follow the Values and Visions process, the results will be outstanding. The ordinary really can become extraordinary.
Wellbeing for Educators and Leaders in Learning puts staff wellbeing back at the heart of teaching. We help teachers actually leave work at work by helping them shift their mindset, and we help senior leaders create a school culture which makes work/life balance possible.
We are run by an educational consultant who has taught in a mainstream primary and currently leads a secondary alternative provision, giving us the expertise and experience to help individual staff and whole schools whatever they look like. We know what it’s like to be swamped by planning and marking as a teacher, and we also know what it’s like to work in a school where staff can leave at 4pm and take no work home for their evenings or weekends. More importantly, we have an excellent track record of setting a school culture where that’s actually possible, leading to staff and pupils thriving as a result.
We exist to educate, motivate, help and inspire school leaders who want to attract and retain good staff, reduce costs and deliver sustainable results.
The most powerful thing you can do is to look after your staff and they will look after you and your students.
