HFL Education’s comprehensive school leadership and management programmes are designed to provide support and guidance for headteachers moving to a new headship as well as deputy or assistant heads who aspire to more senior roles.
How can HFL support me as a headteacher or leader?
Our school leadership and management programmes aim to provide comprehensive and friendly support from our own experts, all of whom have a wealth of demonstrable relevant experience.
Moving to a New Headship Programme (for headteachers new to post in primary, secondary, special and alternative provision settings)
We know that moving to a new headship can be a daunting prospect and can sometimes leave those recently appointed feeling isolated.
With the option of having a serving and experienced headteacher as a ‘professional partner’ for support during the first year, the programme is designed to ensure new headteachers develop the practical skills, insight and knowledge they’ll need to be successful and create a supportive and trusted network around them.
The programme covers a wide range of practical and strategic topics through face to face and online training. Spanning a total of 12 months, sessions begin at the start of the term in which the headteacher takes up their new position.
Leadership Bites Programme for aspiring, new and experienced assistant and deputy headteachers in infant, junior or primary settings.
The Leadership Bites Programme covers a wide variety of topics, including:
• leading the quality of education, supporting the professional development of others and promoting an effective safeguarding culture
• ensuring assessment is used effectively by all staff to improve pupil outcomes
• understanding financial planning and management issues
• harnessing leadership skills to build teams and manage change
• working with governors and managing staff
• exploring effective communication and strategic planning principles.
