Local Leaders of Education - Recruitment and Training
Background information
The idea of 'school to school' support is a developing theme in government thinking and features strongly in the White Paper. Norfolk has always been supportive of collaborative models of school leadership and improvement. Some of you will recall the Primary Leadership Programme for example, while others will have worked together across schools in networks, clusters and hubs for a compelling purpose.
Most recently, the Local Authority has expanded opportunities for school to school support by working in partnership with the National College in the development of Local Leaders of Education (LLEs).
There are currently thirty two accredited LLEs in Norfolk primary and complex needs schools who have worked with the LA to adapt the national programme to meet the local context.
We are keen to work with the National College to recruit more LLEs from good and outstanding primary, complex needs and secondary schools.
How do I become an LLE?
To become an LLE, headteachers must meet national criteria which include a minimum of 3 years as a serving headteacher and a good rating overall in leadership and management at their most recent Ofsted. Critically, their schools must be able to demonstrate high levels of pupil performance or continued improvement over the last three years and in addition be above the floor standard. An application is then made to the National College who provide accredited training for successful candidates before they can be deployed into schools.
When and how can I apply?
The current application window is now open and will close on 24th May 2011.
