The identification and development of future school leaders is a key strategic challenge. Sustaining the flow of high-quality school leaders is critical to achieving the best outcomes for all our children and young people.

They are working with hampshire and other authorities to develop local programmes and we are looking at how we might further develop this work here in Leeds.
