  1. How are School Leaders trained and developed in the UK? Local structures and processes John Donne School

  2. What happens now • Schools are autonomous (relatively) – community, voluntary aided, academy, free schools • School budget depends funding per pupil (age related) and other factors (Pupil Premium) • LMS allows schools to make budgetary decisions

  3. What happens now • Decisions about CPD are made locally according to needs and captured in a SDP • Large emphasis in new Ofsted regulations on CPD with further links to pay and progression being made through a new appraisal process

  4. What happens now • Who are our school leaders? Deputy Head Headteacher Middle leaders School Business Manager Class Teachers Chef

  5. What happens now • NPQH became mandatory in Spring 2009 • Fast forward 3 years and we seem to have come full circle. According to NCSL and the Department for Education, the NPQH Qualification is ‘to become non mandatory in a bid to make it a mark of quality’ rather than a badge of honour

  6. What happens now • NCSL Aspirant Leader course • Staff lecturing at LSBU to support ITT • 4 staff currently working on a masters degree • International links • 3 administrative and premises staff are undertaking NVQ levels 3 and 4 training • Additional ‘in-house’ CPD opportunities

  7. Evaluation of what’s happening • NPQH experience (Simon Wattam) • As CPD offered in response to development plan it should be relevant – dependent on quality of SDP • Are ‘academic qualifications’ the only/most appropriate route to develop leaders?

  8. Evaluation of what’s happening • International links have been particularly valuable and enhanced practice (Evelyn Holdsworth) • ‘University of John Donne’ as a development tool for all (Nick Tildesley)

  9. Looking ahead - what needs to be different? • How can leaders be prepared for the challenges of the role? • How do leaders cope with constant changes imposed from outside agencies? • How to avoid becoming burnt out • The recruitment of leaders into schools in challenging circumstances • Age profile of current school leaders
