Our Aspiring Middle Leader programme seeks to prepare delegates for this crucial role via a series of sessions delivered by Director of School Improvement and Executive Principal. The Aspiring Middle Leader programme is a six part course with one session each half term throughout the academic year. If you are interested in becoming a middle leader or have recently become one we’d love you to join our Aspiring Middle Leaders programme!

Session 01: Models of leadership and what good leadership means to you. 
Session 02: Building a team.
Session 03: Improvement plans and leading change.
Session 04: Dealing with the unexpected and evaluating your impact.
Session 05: Time Management.
Session 06: The practical process of becoming a Middle Leader. 

Please note that it is the expectation that once signed up the delegate will attend all sessions and complete the programme to gain their CPD certificate.

Middle leaders play a critical role in our schools. It is middle leaders who ensure a school’s vision is turned into reality, that policy translates into practice. They provide a vital bridge between senior leaders and the teaching staff, acting as both a filter and buffer.
