The application round for Cohort 12 of Leading from the Middle (LftM), to start in April 2009, is now open until noon on Friday 16 January 2009.
Prior to submitting your application, please be aware of the following important information.
You should only apply through the link above if you are beginning a new group application.
LftM is a popular programme and we anticipate high demand for places on Cohort 12. We have decided to give priority to applicants who were unsuccessful in acquiring a place on Cohort 11 and were also advised by their regional provider that they would be placed on a waiting list for Cohort 12. These applicants will still, however, need to re-apply. Any remaining oversubscription for Cohort 12 will be dealt with principally on a first-come first-served basis, but with consideration given to geographical location in order to form optimum-sized learning groups.
Only group applications will be accepted for Leading from the Middle. A group must consist of either of the following:
For larger groups, please contact your regional provider for application information.
If you have already received an email inviting you to apply for LftM as part of group, it is important that you apply through the link contained in that email. This is to ensure that your application remains linked to the group you are part of. If you have been invited to join a group but cannot access the link, please apply through the link above and advise your regional provider.
It is important that your application is fully completed in order to be considered for a place on Leading from the Middle. Your application for the programme can only be considered complete if you have received an email advising you that your application for Leading from the Middle has been received. If you are in any doubt, please contact the help desk.
A collaborative group is a group of schools that have chosen to come together with collective aims, working together to address a specific local focus through LftM.
To apply as part of a collaborative group, you should have at least 18 middle leaders. The maximum group size is usually around 24 middle leaders.
Please note, collaborative groups must contact their regional provider prior to completing an application form.
