The Church of England offers the opportunity to personalise your learning journey. We recognise that your time as a new Headteacher is precious and we will ensure you only spend time extending the learning that enables you to be a better school leader.
By building on our core Called, Connected, Committed learning principles and drawing upon the Church of England Vision for Education for inspiration, you will be offered a space and the tools to build peer networks that will sustain you throughout your career. Contacts with local dioceses will support Headteachers in understanding the specific requirements of leading a Church of England or Catholic school.
Our support package is structured around 5 learning cycles which are completed across four full academic terms.
After an initial Activate session to set personal learning goals, within each learning cycle Headteachers will access self led-learning, face to face peer support networks, and work in a small expert-led coaching group.
The focus throughout is on going deeper, applying further, and building sustaining and life-giving networks that offer support during the programme and beyond.
You are eligible for this targeted support package if you meet the following criteria:
All places on this programme are funded by the Department for Education at a cost of £800 per participant. See more on funding here.
