One of the big challenges facing Academies and Schools in the coming years is that of ensuring a steady flow of talented leaders at every level who understand the need to maintain the highest aspirations for every student so that schools can be judged to be consistently outstanding now and in the future. Many of the examples outlined within our Teaching School website will contribute to this, but the core strand of our Succession Planning delivery will focus upon delivering nationally recognised programmes to the highest standard to the greatest number of aspiring leaders in the South West.

In April 2012, we were delighted to be able to announce that the CLF Teaching School had been awarded one of the three licenses in the South West to deliver the National College level 1 to 3 leadership curriculum. These programmes will be delivered from schools within the federation and our wider teaching school alliance across Bristol, BAINES and South Gloucestershire. In this way we feel we can fully utilise the outstanding heads and practitioners that provide the best possible learning experience for everyone.

It is also possible to gain masters accreditation for this work with our partners UWE. Further details about this and the cost for this will be provided in due course.

You can access information about any of these programmes via the links at the bottom of the page. You can also follow these links to express an interest in or select CLF as your provider for these programmes.
