NCSL's Leadership Network is a national network, with nine regional networks across the country. It represents school leaders from all phases, as active members of NCSL. Read more about the Leadership Network and register for membership using the online membership registration form. A number of national and regional Leadership Network discussion forums are available in talk2learn.
From 1 September 2006 the Headteacher Induction Programme (HIP) was replaced by the Early Headship Provision. NCSL recognises that early headship represents a critical phase in a school leader's development and has developed this new provision following consultation with a range of stakeholders, in direct response to what NCSL has learned about effective leadership learning opportunities in early headship. More information is available on the EHP pages.
