Leading from the Middle

'Leading from the Middle' is the first national programme for middle leaders, written to support the first of the National College of School Leadership's 5 stages of leadership – the emergent leader. It is appropriate for any middle leader with leadership responsibilities including, amongst others, subject leaders, pastoral leaders, SENCOs and advanced skills teachers.

Five key areas of leadership development of middle leaders are supported by the programme:

  • leadership of innovation and change;
  • knowledge and understanding of their role in leading teaching and learning;
  • enhancing self-confidence and skills as team leaders;
  • building team capacity through the efficient use of staff and resources; and
  • active engagement in self-directed change in a blended learning environment.

    • There are opportunities for applications from both single schools and from groups of schools working together as a collaborative. The programme itself undergoes continual renewal to ensure it meets the needs of today’s middle leaders.
