Call for Ofsted to give leaders on new scheme time to transform schools

The schools inspectorate has been urged to give 100 leaders who will be taking on the headship of some of England’s most challenging schools sufficient time to turn them around.

Candidates are being sought to join the new scheme which will match talented school leaders with schools in deprived, rural or coastal areas.

The idea behind the Talented Leaders programme is to help those schools that often find it hard to attract great leaders.

The programme has been launched by the Department for Education and is to be managed by Future Leaders, a charity which has spent eight years developing and supporting school leaders to work in challenging schools. 

One hundred places are open on the programme and the aim is to have the first leaders going into schools in North Lincolnshire, Suffolk, Bradford and Blackpool from September 2015.
