Training future leaders

Shenley Brook End School has opened a Leadership and Training Centre to support leadership development across the area. Chris Holmwood explains.

Three years ago, when my headteacher, Glen Martin, stood up and said “I want this school to become a school of leaders”, I would never have predicted what was about to happen.

But at the end of September, Shenley Brook End School in Milton Keynes welcomed Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), to open our new Leadership and Training Centre (LTC).

The philosophy of growing leadership at every level has had a demonstrable impact upon our school community, as can be seen in the step-change in our staff development, creative teaching, independent learning, student engagement and results.
