The 2025-2026 leadership series continues to develop leadership thinking in a changing world. Our Principal Consultant, Ruth McGlone, will be running a new series of online sessions across the three terms. Ruth will focus on strategic thinking that will impact on school performance and outcomes. As with sessions in previous years, participants will consider different models from research, current practice, and be helped with supportive documentation to help both new and experienced heads in their roles.
Staying resilient as a Headteacher
As the school’s most important resource, headteachers sometimes take on everything to try to protect others. Developing your own self-awareness and emotional resilience is key to remaining an effective Headteacher. In the session these themes will be explored and participants will reflect on their own practice.
The series will address the following:
- Managing change – 24 September 2025
- Developing a culture for high expectations – 27 November 2025
- Time management – 5 February 2026
- Staying resilient as a Headteacher – 29 April 2026
