Consultant Leaders Supporting the Leadership Capacity within
London's PRUs and EBD Schools
The Consultant Leaders Supporting the Leadership Capacity within
London's PRUs and EBD Schools Programme is fully
funded by the National College for School
Leadership - London Challenge and focuses on Consultant
Leaders providing support, coaching and mentoring within a London
PRU or EBD school. The Consultant Leaders visit their
supported school on a flexible one day per week basis, telephone
and email support is also provided. All the Consultant
Leaders are headteachers of PRUs or EBD schools and have a track
record of excellent leadership. This programme aims to impact
on four key areas in participant PRUs/ EBD schools:
- Improvement in student motivation and
behaviour
- Improved staff recruitment and retention
levels
- Narrowing of the achievement gap throughout
integration of the 14-19 agenda
- Improvement in leadership potential and
succession planning.
The programme is open to all PRUs and EBD schools within London
who wish to benefit from joining the Consultant Leader
network.

team of the school will benefit from a period of

Impact
Since the pilot year in 2005/2006 the
programme has shown that 100% of the participating schools
reported associated benefits arising from their work with
Consultant Leaders, with most schools choosing to work on more than
one area. The programme is reported to have been associated
with a number of improvements including several institutions
which have received improved Ofsted inspection reports, and one of
these schools coming out of special measures.
