‘Church school headteachers are spiritual and academic leaders of the school. Excellence in headship requires visionary, inspired leadership and management centred on the school as a worshipping community, where educational and academic excellence for all pupils is pursued in a Christian context.’ (The Way Ahead 8.1)
In the Diocese of Oxford we value our school leaders and have a specific Performance, Resilience and Support Programme for Headteachers:
To support school leadership at all levels we also offer:
- A complete package for Headteacher Appraisal
- Governor training through EiG
- Induction day for new headteachers – click to download the Headteachers’ Handbook
- The annual service
- Conferences for Primary and Secondary Heads
- We also offer a range of development opportunities for governors and leaders of Worship and Religious Education via the CPD programme
