Sustaining Success in Primary Schools
The National Education Trust (NET) is an independent foundation dedicated to
improving the quality of education nationwide.
As part of its training and development work, it offers a 4-day programme for
primary heads focusing on sustaining successful school leadership. A working
group of up to 12 headteachers is envisaged, working across a six month period
and linked for that period to one of NET’s tutors. There is some light pre-course
reading.
The programme is led by NET Director Roy Blatchford, together with a
current primary headteacher.
