This part-time online programme is designed for practitioners who are either in, or aspiring to, leadership roles in schools or wider contexts such as local, national and third sector organisations.

The programme provides an online opportunity for practitioners to engage in high quality professional learning. There is a focus on collaborative, enquiry-orientated learning, drawing on your own experiences and those of your academic colleagues to bring about improvement.
