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.
James Bowen, NAHT director of policy and director of NAHT Edge.

Our Aspiring Middle Leader Programme is designed to prepare you for the vital role of middle leadership. This six-part course, delivered across the academic year by our Executive Director of Education, will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed.
