School leadership and management: vision, teams and change
About this course
This school leadership course is for head teachers, deputy heads and middle leaders who want to lead their school or team with more clarity, confidence and impact. Middle leaders include heads of department, coordinators and team leaders. Leading a school today means balancing many demands at once: setting a clear direction, supporting and motivating staff, managing day-to-day operations and guiding the school through constant change. Middle leaders face an extra challenge, because they lead colleagues while also reporting to senior management.
Over five days, you will work on the core areas of school leadership and management: building a shared vision and school culture, leading and developing effective teams, delegating and managing time, holding difficult conversations, using evidence to make better decisions and planning and leading change. Sessions are practical and based on real school situations, with case studies, group work, peer exchange with leaders from other European countries and simple tools you can use straight away. You will also reflect on your own leadership style and how to look after your own wellbeing and that of your staff.
You will leave with a leadership toolkit, a clearer picture of your strengths, and a realistic improvement plan for your school or team.
