Middle Leader Development Course

Coming Soon

We are currently developing a leadership offer for professionals working directly within education or linked services.

This programme is designed for those who are:

  • Taking on first-line or middle leadership responsibilities

  • Leading practice, projects, or teams

  • Supporting others while continuing to hold direct operational responsibility

Full details, including start dates, funding routes, and delivery format, will be shared once confirmed.

The programme will focus on building the confidence, skills, and capability required to lead effectively in day-to-day professional practice.

The programme will support participants to develop across:

Self

Leadership confidence, reflective practice, professional judgement, and resilience.

Team

Supervising and supporting others, communication, feedback, and practice development.

Systems

Learning will be rooted in real workplace practice and application. The intention is to support participants to step into leadership with clarity, strengthening both their professional practice and the teams they work within.
