Reviews
"ALV helps to identify your strengths and areas for development, and recognising these has been vitally important in my development as a leader. After completing ALV I developed a vision for future CPD, for 2011-2012 and beyond, in an environment of tighter financial constraints and our school’s context. The vision included the opportunity for all staff, including support staff, to engage in meaningful CPD that enhances performance."

"I received some really useful feedback from ALV, particularly the diagnostic and looking at the leadership effectiveness model. As a result of what I learned on ALV, we now have a three year development plan for the sixth form to continue increasing retention. We have reviewed the interview process for Year 11 students thinking about further study, have regular meetings with key stakeholders about funding for the sixth form, and have a much lower rate of students wanting to leave after Year 11."

"Leadership development programmes, such as Adding Leadership Value, are invaluable in helping schools succeed in an ever changing educational landscape. Assisting senior leaders in meeting the individual and team expectations placed upon them by their school, through a focused set of professional development activities, is a key element in embedding ambition and driving improvement."
