Preparation for Headship: Free WCC cpd for Senior and Middle Leaders
Warwickshire’s Aspiring Headteachers Programme is a new and innovative programme intended to support senior and experienced middle leaders who aspire to headship in a Warwickshire school. This course is appropriate for school leaders who have a minimum of 2 years senior leadership experience and are considering applying for a Headship, in Warwickshire, in the next 2 years.
The programme will consist of approximately 5 sessions, primarily online twilights, plus a face-to-face launch day. The programme will be hosted by Darren Barrow (Schools Sustainability Lead Officer and Headteacher at St John’s Primary School, Kenilworth) and there will be a range of guest speakers inputting into the sessions, including local headteachers, key colleagues from LA services as well as some national speakers.
The programme will run over the course of 2 terms starting in autumn 2021 and will cover themes such as:
- Leading the organisation - moral imperative, vision, innovation in the curriculum
- Leading teaching and learning - using data and closing the gap
- The school as a business - finance, HR, legislation and policy
- Applying for headship and working with governors
This programme is fully funded by Warwickshire County Council and further details will be made available in due course.
