Primary Leadership Talent Pool

Since 2009 Norfolk LA has worked closely with its schools to identify and develop leadership potential through the Primary Leadership Talent Pool. The Talent Pool has had a significant impact upon career progression for the overwhelming majority of participants who have become enthusiastic advocates of the programme.

Applications are now invited from those who they feel have significant and demonstrable leadership potential to join the Primary Leadership Talent Pool Cohort 5 for 2013 - 2014. Headteacher’s are urged to discuss this opportunity with members of their staff who aspire to become senior school leaders or Headteachers within the next three to four years.

There will be up to 30 places offered with access to a range of leadership training and development. In the event of over subscription, priority will be given to candidates who meet current Leadership Succession Planning priorities.

Action

Potential candidates must complete a self evaluation and discuss the outcomes with their Headteacher to ensure that basic leadership characteristics can be evidenced.

Headteachers and applicants are then requested to read the guidance and selection criteria, which together with a nomination form can be accessed here .

The Headteacher must complete the nomination form and send an electronic copy to elizabeth.philpot@norfolk.gov.uk . no later than 15th April 2013.
