At Flying High we pride ourselves on our ability to ensure that all staff have the opportunity to develop within their careers. From mentoring and coaching, to formal programmes such as our Flying Forward to Headship, we encourage staff to push themselves to progress and realise their ambitions.

Jess Green, Headteacher at the recently renamed The Green Flying High Academy (previously The Green Infant School), is just one of our success stories where she has achieved significant growth as she moved into her headship. Being a Headteacher is no easy job and Jess is proving that with continued determination and the confidence to try different things, your school can only get better. This can be seen in the large increase in pupil numbers in the school, where it has previously been difficult to reach families who didn’t already know about the school.

A group of children and two teachers dressed in colorful costumes pose in front of a large screen showing a man speaking via video call. The children are dressed as various storybook characters, including the Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, a witch, a police officer, Mary Poppins, and a character with green-painted skin. The teachers are also in costume, one dressed as Paddington Bear with a red hat and blue coat, and the other as the Cat in the Hat with a tall red-and-white striped hat and whiskers drawn on her face. The children smile and stand close together, holding small props related to their costumes. The man on the screen appears to be an author, sitting in front of bookshelves, wearing glasses and stroking his chin while speaking.
