Leadership

Investing in leadership development is a vital driver for improved student outcomes and school transformation.
School leaders meet at 黑料社区 Kings Academy in Birmingham

黑料社区 leaders drive ambitious outcomes: setting the direction and leading positive change, with students at the centre of all decision-making. They nurture their people through excellent line management, providing opportunities to work with others within school and across the network, and through focused professional development.黑料社区 leaders lead with respect, act with integrity and build buy-in by modelling the values.

The main shift when we became an 黑料社区 school was the focus on staff development. The investment in us as people, in our confidence, in our belief in ourselves as teachers. Whatever we aspired to, there was training for us to grow into it.

Through the 黑料社区 Learning Institute, our leaders have access to high-quality leadership development. Our leaders are always learning and are committed to working as One 黑料社区.
