Leading Others

Leadership Networks - Whilst maintaining an unwavering focus on improving their own schools, our experienced and highly skilled Headteachers contribute to designing and developing the Trust as a collective. 

In our half-termly leadership network days, Headteachers  come together on core aspects of the Trust’s work, as well as receive updates about local and national teaching developments.
These networking events are important in shaping priorities, strategy and CPD across the Trust and therefore Trust Headteachers are expected to attend these six days in full and be able to remain until the end of the day. This year time is being built into netowrks to further our hub working in addition to the hub meetings outlined elsewhere.

These events are for Trust Headteachers, there is no need to book, you will be emailed an invitation

Headship is exciting and rewarding; yet, it can also be daunting and overwhelming.  

Our ‘Early and New to Trust Headship Group’ is a regular time for heads to come together for mutual support and shared learning; to solve problems collaboratively and build a strong network of peers. The group will help shape the sessions, focusing on the challenges and selecting aspects of leadership they want to develop.

Step Lab is a systematic approach to providing tailored, specific advice to teachers wherever they are in their career. 

It supports the coach to provide precise feedback and granular level steps to improve, which can have immediate impact on the quality of teaching.

As a Trust we are working with a number of schools to implement instructional coaching through the use of Steplab in order to give teachers the ongoing professional development that they deserve.  Through this, it will enable teachers to the best that they can be and our children will benefit from excellent teaching all day, every day.
