No organisation can be a great organisation without high leadership capital.

For future educational leadership to have a continual impact, there is a need for all senior leaders to master and demonstrate a modern set of leadership behaviours and attitudes.

This conference offers the knowledge and skills to enable senior leaders to articulate a vision for increasing capacity for improvement and to design and implement an appropriate strategy for whole school improvement that is focused on maximising pupil outcomes. It addresses the ‘big picture’ of what contributes to organisational success and the role played by senior leaders in optimising cultural capital that maximise learning through focusing on results.

Objectives:

• To improve school outcomes by increasing leadership capital

• Ensuring consistency in the quality of leadership and management and succession planning.

• To increase professional awareness and understanding of organisational success and the sustainable leadership competencies needed to lead a school in an ever-changing and complex world.

Why?

There are virtually no documented instances of outstanding schools being developed without the leadership by highly-effective leaders. Many other factors may contribute to such developments, but leadership is the catalyst.

This session has been specifically designed to further enhance the leadership capabilities of Head Teachers, Deputy Heads, Assistant Heads and other members of a school's SLT and to provide additional support and guidance around how to ensure continuous improvement within a highly successful school.

Key areas issues explored will include:

• Recognising the 2 essentials at the heart of high-impact leadership

• Increasing awareness around the 4 key influences on the success of any school

• Evaluating the impact of each influence within a school

• Developing high-impact leadership at all levels

• Creating alignment - Communication that creates a collective coherence across the whole school

• Embedding a strong professional culture that results in improved pupil outcomes

• Practical processes, protocols and tools that increase capital across a school
