I am delighted to be working with the National College of Education for the second year to lead the exciting Northern Lights cohorts for Senior Leaders.

I am excited about the journey we will take together, contextualized in the North of England, which brings its own joys and unique challenges and I look forward to working with during the course of the programme.

Equipping leaders to face current challenges

The Senior Leadership Programme is the only opportunity in education to learn from multiple industries, understanding and implementing key elements of leadership previously unexplored in the sector yet never more relevant than now.​Previous routes and qualifications simply don’t cut it anymore.

We are reinventing professional learning in schools, bringing leading-edge business school thinking into the education sector. Our Senior Leadership Programme will equip you with the knowledge and tools to face these modern challenges head on, impacting the communities you serve and significantly catapulting your leadership trajectory.

"I also am thinking about the next steps in my career, and this training will afford me more scope going forward in educational leadership and management roles."
