APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN - We're recruiting up to 75 outstanding individuals to join the Future Leaders programme in 2012.
Do you have the potential to become a head in around 4 years and the commitment to improve the life chances of every child?
The UK has one of the widest achievement gaps in the developed world, but it is not inevitable and it can be closed.
Our mission is to address educational disadvantage by developing effective, inspirational leaders for challenging schools.
Future Leaders is a three-year leadership development programme which includes:
- Intensive summer training
- Placement in a challenging school
- Access to a support network of over 280 Future Leaders
- Opportunity to visit exemplary schools abroad
Schools can achieve significant benefits by working with us including:
- Measurable impact in your school
- Access to the expertise of a growing network dedicated to closing the achievement gap
- High quality training events which your staff could attend
There are now almost 300 Future Leaders working in 200 challenging schools, impacting on the life chances of at least 200,000 pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Provisional results show that Future Leader Heads have improved 5A*-C GCSEs by over 6 percentage points, despite being in their 1st or 2nd year of headship.
