Warwickshire’s Aspiring Headteacher Programme

Dear Headteachers,

There is still time to apply to Warwickshire’s Aspiring Headteacher Programme.

As you undertake your teacher’s Performance Management meetings this term, maybe, as part of those meetings, you are thinking about…

  • Succession planning
  • How to motivate and retain great senior leaders
  • Targeted training for your senior leaders who aspire to lead in Warwickshire

Well, why not tell them about this fantastic programme …

Warwickshire’s Aspiring Headteacher Programme is an 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 7 sessions, delivered via a mix of online and face to face sessions. The programme will be hosted by Debby Hughes (Former Headteacher of High Meadow Community School, Learning Improvement Officer for Warwickshire LA and Visiting Fellow for Ambition Institute – NPQSL) 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 January 2023, and will cover themes such as:

  • Leading the organisation - moral imperative, vision, innovation in the curriculum
  • Leading teaching and learning – curriculum, CPD, preparing for Ofsted, 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 is being organised by the Gateway Alliance.
