Heads Rising
A practical and supportive programme for new headteachers and those aspiring to headship that will help you achieve tangible change in your day-to-day leadership practice.

-
Boost your confidence and the way others see you as a leader
-
Enhance your ability to influence and successfully lead others, within your school and beyond

-
Create a supportive network of peers to support and stretch each other
