Leadership effectiveness and succession
planning:
Cultivating excellence in leadership
Effective leadership is essential for
achieving school improvement in order to transform children’s lives
through raising their achievement and securing their well-being.
Leadership is a function exercised by everyone. Developing
leadership capacity and potential are vital for the continuing
success of schools and our learners within them.
The purpose of this strategy is to:
- summarise current priorities for
development
- review strategies for improving effective
leadership
- build capacity and capability
- promote a diversification of models that both
secure distributive leadership and prepare for future
challenges.
This strategy has been prepared in full and
renewed partnership between the Children’s Services Authority
(CSA), East Sussex School Improvement Service and the National
College for School Leadership (NCSL).
