National Academy for Educational Leadership

The headteachers and school leaders of the future are to have the support of a new academy being set up in Wales early next year.

A National Academy for Educational Leadership is being created based on a blueprint drawn up by the former chief inspector for Estyn, Ann Keane, and a team of experts.

They have made a range of recommendations on how the academy might be established, including:

Ms Keane explained: “(The recommendations) are the result not only of our deliberations but of engagement with headteachers and other leaders in the education sector across Wales and an understanding of what happens in other countries.

“We will be sharing more detailed proposals for the academy in meetings around Wales over the next few weeks to make sure that what is planned for the academy enables equity of access to high-quality leadership development for leaders and aspiring leaders who work in education sectors in Wales, for the ultimate benefit of learners.
