Developing Leaders

Leaders in our Trust are supported in their development through Trust-wide programmes and cross-school involvement.

All our Headteachers sit on the Leaders' Forum which provides a forum to help shape the Trust’s development. 

Headteachers are line managed by their Improvement Director and supported and developed through mechanisms such as CARDs and ARMs (see Accurate Evaluation & Planning section) and formal and informal visits.

Deputy Headteachers, Assistant Headteachers and Lead Teachers come together through the Trust’s Senior Leader Network.  This group meets half termly and includes taught elements, reviews of research and visits to schools.  This group also plays a role in shaping and driving Trust initiatives.

 Through our partnership with St Julian Teaching School Hub we support a number of staff each year to complete NPQs.  Other professional development and training of leaders is also encouraged and supported.
