Leadership Programme 2019-20: Professional development and sharing best practice
This series of twilight CPD sessions, combined with brief pre-reading and gap tasks, provides an excellent opportunity for those new to senior leadership, as well as those with a few years of experience, to reflect on and develop their leadership knowledge and skills. This session would be suitable for subject leaders, phase leaders, lead teachers and assistant heads. Delegates will come together with other senior leaders from local schools in a supportive environment, able to reflect on their own experiences and practice.

Testimonials from previous attendees:
“I found the Leadership Programme hugely helpful. As someone who is very new to their leadership role within a school, it really made me reflect on the leadership style that most reflects my personal values as well as how I can most effectively use my role to support others in school. It was also great to share experiences with other leaders of different schools.”
