Do you want new ideas for your school?
Through visits to four outstanding schools from across the country you will be exposed to innovative and successful models of school leadership. This programme will challenge your perceptions of what is possible and facilitate strategic school improvement through insight, reflection and planning using SSAT’s Framework for Exceptional Education. Participating schools can opt to send different colleagues to events in order to share the learning.
How the programme works
Starting with an audit of your own approach, the programme takes your leadership through a systematic, theme-by-theme challenge over four one-day events. Each session will be hosted in a different outstanding school and will include the opportunity to look behind the scenes, drill down more deeply into a vital element of the school’s leadership and draw out the lessons you can apply to your own institution.
