Aspirance Leadership Services

We were delighted to engage Aspirance recently to conduct a consultation process with some of our parents. The survey was undertaken with thoroughness and sensitivity which helped Shrewsbury School to focus on its plans or the future.

It was a pleasure to work with Aspirance on two key appointments for Downe House, our Chaplain and Business Development Director. In both cases, they took the time to get to know the School, to understand our needs and were efficient, professional and most importantly successful in enabling us to make two excellent appointments.

Whether working with an individual member of staff or with a team, the Aspirance approach is not to tell you what to do but to ask questions which promote the deep reflection on practice and relationships and, if you allow it, the emotions of school life, which we so often ignore but which are essential if we are to lead cultural and personal change in ourselves and our schools.

Aspirance has provided us with coherent strategic advice and support that has given everyone the confidence and skills to move forward boldly. Their service is flexible and they listen. Our best investment in effective change.

The service provided by Aspirance to the School was excellent and we were delighted that we were in a position to interview such a high calibre of candidates. Mr Trotman took time to engage with the School Governors, Senior Management Team and key members of staff to gain a greater insight into the culture of the School which assisted with ensuring the short-listed candidates all met the person specification. We would have no hesitation in using their services in the future.
