I started the day at the Assessment and Development Centre for Aspiring Headteachers at Weetwood Hall...

The day was intended to identify strengths and reassure colleagues about our ongoing commitment to potential and future leaders here in Leeds. Leadership is very obviously one of the magic ingredients for building brilliant provision consistently across the city. We know that we need passionate, committed and determined leaders to drive provision and to help us continue to close the gap so that our children and young people achieve world class outcomes.

Peter Laurence and the army of colleagues he had assembled for the Assessment and Development Centre certainly reflects our commitment to this vital aspect of our work and to these talented colleagues.
