WHAT WE DO
NCSL Leadership Network - West Midlands
This project in 2008 involved working with over 60 teachers who had been identified by their Local Authorities as having the potential for Headship. The project took place in Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Coventry, and Solihull and involved a mixture of personal coaching and mentoring, leadership challenges and workshop sessions. Personalised Insights Discovery profiles were used to identify leadership preferences and future challenges
CWDC - Occupational Group Funding Project
The project, running from 2007 - 2009 involved working with a number of key locality based workers including Extended school coordinators, and Youth workers. This took place in Plymouth, and across Somerset, with a focus of enhancing an understanding of the training needs of the Voluntary and Community Sector.

Schools enjoy the supportive yet challenging approach used

The report made recommendations to all parties regarding how the project should be taken forward. It identified which conditions were likely to enable the greatest progress for pupils.
Working with Higher Education - Postgraduate accreditation opportunities
Through our links with a number of Universities in the South West, and Wales, we are often able to link leadership development acftivities to opportunities for accreditation at Masters level.
These can range from very specific short 10 credit units to a full Certificate or Diploma at 60 or 120 credits. These opportunities can be designed into any bespoke set of activities, or in some cases be offered retrospectively as a post-course reflective activity
