Collaborative leadership development programme proving a success in Wales

A Welsh government drive to create inspirational school leaders has been given a boost by the success of a new training programme.

Headteachers from across Wales attended workshops to help design and advise on the Newly Appointed and Acting Headteachers Leadership Development Programme, which launched this term.

The programme has been developed by the four education consortia in Wales in response to a Welsh government objective to cultivate inspirational school leaders.

It is the first to be successfully endorsed by the recently established National Academy for Educational Leadership (NAEL).

Leaders of the four consortia say they have been working together to pool resources and experience and to share best practice.

The leadership development programme aims to “develop uniform, high-quality provision for aspiring headteachers, headteachers new to post and experienced headteachers for delivery across the four regions to increase the number of skilled leaders across Wales”.
