The
workload of schools has grown immensely over recent years and shows little sign
of abating. To cope effectively,
schools must have purposeful and focused leadership at all levels. This course is intended for teachers who

needed to make an effective contribution at Leadership Group level. The course is also suitable for newly
appointed Assistant Headteachers.
On
completion you should be able to:
· Develop a ‘strategic’ perspective
· Anticipate the demands of the role
· Support the development of practical skills and good judgement
· Provide advice and support about managing the performance of subject and cross phase co-ordinators
