What's new for autumn 2008: register for a Leadership Network event near you.

Leadership Network regional events

The most valuable aspect of participation in the Network has been the face-to-face events, with a focus for input by practitioners to critically look at practice.

NCSL’s Leadership Network offers a varied programme of interactive and collaborative leadership learning events throughout the year. These events are free for school leaders to attend with an invitation to identify leadership issues which you feel would benefit from a fresh perspective. They will provide you with ongoing opportunities to connect with school leaders in your local area and nationally, contribute to identifying the agenda for future network activity in your region and provide you with lots of practical ideas to inform your leadership.

The Leadership Network is also working in partnership with other organisations - including the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT), the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), CfBT and the National Strategies - on the leadership of the new secondary curriculum, to provide Leadership Network members with access to events across the regions. Find out more about partnership activity.
