Leading Women (Education)

Welcome to Leading Women (Education) Our vision is to support, nourish and grow school leaders in order that they have an enriching experience of 21st century headship. We have particular expertise in developing women leaders, understanding the importance of encouraging, networking and apprenticing women into headship. We network women leaders and coach individuals in order to provide practical and collaborative solutions to school leadership and management issues. We believe that knowledgeable, skilful and insightful heads, who thrive in their leadership, are able to positively influence school communities, and empower children and young people to love school, to achieve and lead successful lives. We help leaders to develop these qualities and skills through personalised professional development and coaching. We also design and facilitate bespoke professional leadership development programmes for individual schools, for groups of schools and teaching school alliances or trusts. As experienced headteachers ourselves, as national leaders and facilitators of national leadership development programmes, we use our expertise, knowledge, skills and national networks to grow leaders into headship. We respond to the professional development needs of school leaders at each stage of their leadership journey - whether as aspiring heads, serving heads or moving beyond headship.
