For schools, MATs, local and regional providers committed to leadership development
Whether you lead across one school or many, our Leadership Delivery Partner model provides a framework for you to create exciting development pathways for your staff. Start with one or more programmes and think big to become a local and regional hub. There are five modular leadership programmes ready for you to select and deliver, and further opportunities to co-construct bespoke training.
All our leadership programmes are fully resourced; with slides, tutor notes, reflective tools and additional materials. Online training is provided for your facilitators who will the deliver modules to your cohorts of up to 20 participants.
One of the most valuable aspects has been the opportunity for our staff to actively lead and facilitate some of the SSAT sessions themselves. This experience has deepened their understanding of educational and leadership theory and, more importantly, how that theory translates into effective leadership in practice.
