Challenge of Headship

After much consideration and discussion, in light of the current climate, we have regrettably decided to defer this course until 2021.

Due to Covid-19, some dates may differ from our printed booklet. Our 20% discount remains for every extra place booked on the same course/programme.
Thank you for the clarity and honesty - this was time well spent and moved my thinking forward. Really good food for thought and very insightful. I thought all these points made me reflect on important parts of school life and it helped me to reaffirm what I am doing, correct where I’m getting it wrong and give ideas of possible future vision/pathways.

Covering a wide selection of topics including Strategic Improvement, Curriculum, SEND, Safeguarding & Mental Health, CE Schools & SIAMs, HR and Data Protection, our short courses offer high quality professional development coupled with exceptional value for money. As with our Leadership, NQT Training and Teaching RE programmes, all are specialist led and incorporate current recommendations and accepted good practice to ensure stimulating and inspiring sessions for all participants.

In this programme, participants will develop the skills and knowledge needed to lead a successful school and have the opportunity to share day-to-day experiences with other participants and experienced headteachers. In addition to the six training days, participants will have the valuable experience to work-shadow a headteacher in their chosen context.

A range of themes will be covered, including:

Strategic Focus

Creating & building a strategic vision
Leading schools in the future.

Leading the Team

Recruiting & building your team.
Ensuring high performance.

Finance & Planning

Financial monitoring & budgeting.
Self-evaluation & school improvement planning.

Working with people

Buildings & safety

Ensuring whole school safety.
Developing a successful CE school inc SIAMS, RE & Collective Worship.

Looking ahead
