Services

Ways to work with Deep Roots.

From training your own staff, to building a season outdoors, to a bespoke package your leadership team and KHDA can stand behind. Clear services, scoped to your school, with a written proposal before anything is agreed.

What you can commission

Four services, one standard.

Commission a single piece or a whole programme. Each one is designed backwards from the outcome you want, and built to leave your school stronger than it found it.

01Teaching & pastoral teams

In-house coaching & training

We train your own people, so the capability stays in the building long after we leave.

  • Coaching-skills workshops for teachers and pastoral staff
  • Expedition and outdoor pedagogy, taught to be run well
  • Live facilitation practice, not slides
  • A follow-up clinic once your team has run it for real

02Heads of outdoor learning & DofE

Outdoor trip & expedition builds

A trip designed to develop young people, not simply to happen and come home safely.

  • Programme and itinerary designed around your cohort
  • Outcomes mapped and baselined before departure
  • Risk and safeguarding structure a board will accept
  • Trusted delivery partners run the field logistics
  • A debrief that captures the evidence, not just the photos

Partnership

Whole-school integration and authority-level alignment.

  • For school groups and education authorities
Request a proposal

Every engagement is bespoke. You receive a written proposal, with clear scope and investment, before anything is agreed. Prices come after a conversation, never before.

For groups and authorities

Working at the level of the authority.

Beyond individual schools, Deep Roots partners with school groups and education authorities, including KHDA-aligned work, to raise the standard of outdoor learning across the region. Framework alignment, shared measurement, and the speaking and research that give a whole system something to build on.

Discuss a partnership

Private practice

Executive coaching, one to one.

Alongside the schools work, Krista keeps a small private practice for leaders, founders and educators who want a thinking partner of their own. Executive and supervision coaching, held to the same standard as everything else, at the pace and privacy an individual needs.

Questions

Before you book a call.

Do you run the expeditions yourselves?

We design, build and quality-assure the programme. Trusted delivery partners run the field logistics, so you get our developmental thinking and their operational strength, without carrying either risk alone.

Can programmes be mapped to KHDA frameworks?

Yes. Alignment to the wellbeing frameworks your school is already judged on is built in from the start, with the evidence gathered as you go rather than reconstructed at inspection.

Do you train our own staff, or only work with students?

Both. In-house coaching and training is one of the most requested services, precisely because it leaves your school able to run this well on its own, rather than depending on us every season.

How does pricing work?

Every engagement is bespoke and scoped after a first conversation, so you pay for what your school actually needs rather than a fixed menu. You receive a written proposal, with clear scope and investment, before anything is agreed.

Do you work with individuals as well as schools?

Yes. Alongside the schools work there is a small private practice for one-to-one executive and supervision coaching, for leaders and educators who want a thinking partner of their own.

Where do you work?

Based in Dubai, serving international schools across the Gulf, with programmes built wherever the terrain suits the outcome you are after.

How do we start?

With a conversation about your cohort and what you want the outdoors to do, not a quote. Book a conversation and we will take it from there.
