Talented Leaders programme targets 10 more regions

Senior leadership
The total number of areas that have joined the new Talented Leaders programme – set up to find headteachers to work in schools in need of support – has reached 14.

The government-backed scheme is being run by the charity Future Leaders and was launched into four areas in September: Blackpool, Bradford, Suffolk, and North Lincolnshire.

It was confirmed this week that the scheme is now to expand to a further 10 areas: Redcar and Cleveland, Stockton on Tees, Sunderland, Norfolk, Southend-on-Sea, Bracknell Forest, East Sussex, Medway, Thanet, and Portsmouth.

The scheme has been established after data showed that schools in coastal and rural areas are now among the lowest performing in the country. 

Successful applications to the Talented Leaders programme will be matched to suitable schools in agreement with the governors or appointing bodies.
