In our world in the 21st Century Catholic education faces many challenges, and yet, Catholic education in the United Kingdom is relatively young. I offer training specifically geared to those who work within Catholic Education. The training serves to respond to the challenges faced by those who work in Catholic education, and offer strategies to overcome those challenges, turning them into strengths.

I offer training for Catholic school governors exploring what it means to be a Foundation governor in a Catholic school, spirituality for school governors, the process to appoint senior leaders, effective school governance and the responsibilities of being a Chair of Governors in a Catholic school
