About this course
Leading a school when the ground keeps shifting wears people down. It can leave experienced heads feeling like impostors, and newer leaders wondering what they signed up for.
You'll come away with four simple ideas to steady things. Get comfortable saying 'I don't know yet' out loud. Make imperfect decisions boldly, then review them and own it when you're wrong. Focus on what you can control, like routines, rituals and 'if this happens, then we'll do that' plans shared with staff, pupils and parents. And set clear, realistic expectations, including that staff are expected to switch off.
It's built on what school leaders say has been working for them, so take what fits your setting and leave the rest.
- For governors, middle leaders and teachers. All phases.
