your leadership

Education is always changing, facing new challenges, opportunities, and complex issues. It’s easy to feel lonely and powerless to make the changes you believe in…

The Big Education Leadership Programme brings together headteachers, school leaders and leaders of education in a welcoming and safe space to explore ways in which we can solve the persistent and challenging problems that exist within education. 

By developing connectivity across participants, we explore existing strategies and cultivate new ones to ensure that we’re building a education system that best fits the changing and emerging issues that school leaders are faced with, ensuring that the school communities you serve enable young people to thrive and school leaders to drive impact.

A Big Education for all

Leaders participating in the Big Education Leadership Programme delve into an array of tools and practices from both the UK and around the world, engaging closely with peers who share similar goals. You can find out more about the impact of the programme from our 2024 formal impact evaluation by Professor Louise Stoll.

A message from the programme lead

“Leadership is a catalyst for the change we want to see in education! Our leadership programme encourages leaders to BE brave and question the way things are normally done, develop new solutions, and create safe environments to make these changes happen. One of the things people love so much about the programme, is connecting with other like minded leaders. It’s always a joy to see people learn with and from each other.”
