Bringing a management team together

Description

The Leadership Team at Bowker Vale Primary in Manchester is going through an interesting change, not only reforming due to budget constraints but helping the six members of the team work better together as a single unit. Whilst the head, deputy and assistant head are experienced managers the three new members of the team lack management experience. Headteacher Ian Lawton calls on Teachers TV's life coach Gladeana MacMahon for help. They all fill out questionnaires before she arrives at the school so she knows there are no conflicting personality types, in fact they all get on so well it takes a physical shed building exercise to demonstrate exactly how she can help! The team falls naturally into the experienced and inexperienced so Gladeana suggests putting some strategies in place to break down this divide and begin the process of building up an effective team to run the school.
