Interim management in practice

When highly-qualified staff are needed in post straight away our interim managers have the ability and commitment to keep schools on track as part of a holding operation, giving you time to find the perfect candidate for the permanent role without compromising the school’s progress. Because of their experience and flexibility, interim managers can perform a number of different roles within schools and colleges:

For school turnaround
For a variety of reasons, schools sometimes need a short-term boost with the additional capacity of an experienced senior leader who has a track record of improving motivation, standards of attainment and behaviour throughout the school.

For project management
Interim support does not always relate to a permanent role - certain projects require key skill sets beyond the remit of your existing leadership team. Interim management provides the opportunity to outsource a leader with the perfect blend of skills and experience for the duration of the project.

The case

Reporting a drop of nearly 65% in exclusions and an increase of 11% in teaching judged by the inspection team to be ‘very good’, a Welsh high school has been removed from special measures by our interim team whose leadership resulted in ‘a remarkable turnaround in pupil achievement and higher attendance’.
