Message from your regional leaders

In the spring term, the Leadership Network will have a groundbreaking new series of events entitled Liberating leadership: Not all leaders are teachers. A line up of keynote speakers and workshop leaders - including former Arsenal and England International Player Tony Woodcock, Janet Aldridge and Richard Gerver - will present both stimulus and practical ideas to take your school's leadership thinking forward. Leaders who are not teachers and those who manage non-teaching staff - including school business managers, facilities managers and special educational needs co-ordinators - are welcome to join the Leadership Network and these events. We are interested in how the Network can best support their roles and schools.  

Find the contact details for the regional leaders in your local area.
