DTSA Termly Headteacher Development Days
These development days are open to headteachers or appropriate senior leadership of any type of school in the city or county. The days focus on the leadership of learning and give opportunities to address your own issues from your own context.
The course will enable senior leadership to develop high quality relationships and partnerships, provide opportunities to share experiences and develop professionally and to find quality time to reflect and take part in individual, small and whole group activities that improve a head’s ability to lead on learning.
“Curriculum input in the morning was spot on for my school and our current agenda.”
“Always good to ask questions, only another Headteacher can answer!”

School Business Professionals Network Meetings
Our School Business Professionals network offered in partnership with our colleagues at Flint Bishop Education is well attended with great feedback. The meetings are professionally facilitated by Michelle Richardson and include a national update and a chance to hear from a range of companies developing new ways of working.
An important part of the meeting is the chance for SBPs to identify the issues that they wish to discuss and future agendas are built around their needs. It is also a great opportunity to share good practice and where SBPs are new to post there is also an opportunity to be paired with an experienced SBP for mentoring support.
“Many points made in the HR session – always useful”
