Senior Leaders' Network

What to expect across the year…

Our Senior Leader Network provides access to a dynamic programme designed for Primary School Senior Leaders.

Across the year there will be two opportunities for leaders to come together in-person, to network, collaborate and learn from national and international speakers as well as experienced school and academy leaders. Plus, our online conference brings the latest insights and strategies directly to you. Strengthen your leadership skills, stay ahead of trends and connect with a supportive community of leaders—all designed to help you lead with impact and confidence.

Exclusive to Senior Leaders Network subscribers…

An opportunity to attend an initial leadership focused day with Apple at Apple’s UK Headquarters, Battersea Power Station, London, for a day of strategic conversations exploring…

  • Apple’s cultural landscape;
  • Ascertaining your ‘why’ and the promise that underpins it;
  • Living your vision & values.
