School Leadership

An increasing range of leadership programmes for teachers and senior managers is provided by the National College for School Leadership. These programmes have been developed across the continuum of school leadership and cater for the full range of leadership roles in schools from bursars to consultant leaders.

Fast Track Teaching

Fast Track Teaching is an accelerated leadership development programme for serving teachers in the early stages of their careers who demonstrate excellent leadership and the potential to rapidly progress to senior leadership roles such as advanced skills teacher, assistant or deputy headteacher.

Eligible teachers, ideally in first two or three years of their teaching career and pre threshold and on the main pay scale, may apply online.
