David Perkins Email and Phone Number

I am a qualified executive, professional and instructional coach; I specialise in education leadership, but I have expanded my practice to work with an even more diverse range of organisations. I am trained in a wide variety of coaching methodologies including solution-focused, dilemma-based and instructional coaching, all of which have been used in individual and group coaching contexts with hundreds of leaders and other colleagues from primary, secondary, special, further and higher education settings across the UK, including (but not limited to) coaching for Leeds Beckett University's government-funded Senior Mental Health Lead training courses (Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced pathways). I am also a qualified coaching trainer and assessor, supporting leaders and their staff to implement coaching models including GROW and BASIC, as well as empowering them to develop the necessary skills, habits and qualities to become more coach-like in their everyday practice and to establish a coaching culture in their organisation. In addition to my coaching work, I am a part-time Co-Headteacher at a 2-11 primary school and nursery and an accredited Evidence Lead in Education for Unity Research School, having previously been a Leading Maths Teacher, Advanced Skills Teacher, Primary National Strategy Consultant and Specialist Leader of Education, as well as a Wellbeing Lead and Raising Standards Lead for Unity Schools Partnership. My other qualifications include a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Information Management, Post-Graduate Certificate in Education, Qualified Teacher Status and National Professional Qualification for Headship. I am passionate about providing impactful coaching which leads to action, clarity and energy, facilitates professional growth and improves mental health. If I can be of service in any way, please do get in touch.
