RenewEd Headteacher Coaching & Career Change Coaching from a Former Headteacher
Confidential coaching for headteachers navigating impossible systems and professionals navigating career change.
I’m Claudia Cubbage, Certified UK Coach, former headteacher and founder of RenewEd Ltd. With 30+ years in education, I provide coaching for headteachers and career-change professionals seeking clarity and strategic direction.
I’m a registered executive coach with LLSE (NPQH and NPQEL) and Ambition Institute (EHCO), and work with schools, trusts, and organisations who fund coaching for their leaders. I also work directly with individuals seeking confidential, independent support.
