At LAAT, we believe strong leadership is the foundation of exceptional education. In December 2024, we launched an ambitious career pathway strategy designed to support our current leaders and cultivate the next generation of leadership talent within our trust.
This bespoke leadership development plan provides a clear and supportive roadmap for existing and aspiring leaders, empowering them to excel and contribute to the future of education at LAAT.
Our Leadership Development Programme is specifically designed to address the needs of current, new, and aspiring school leaders. By fostering professional growth and enhancing the educational experience across all our schools, this program strengthens our succession planning and grows leadership capacity throughout the trust.
The programme represents a critical investment in our leaders, equipping them to confidently navigate today’s challenges while preparing for the demands of the future. Together, we’ll build on our strong leadership foundation, ensuring our schools remain places where educators and students thrive.
The programme is delivered in six transformative modules over an academic year:
Feedback from our leaders and colleagues has shaped this initiative:
Through this programme, we aim to:
“Was very powerful – reminder that we are working with one goal and great opportunity for joint problem solving.”
“The coaching session was invaluable.”
“Good discussion about the qualities required to be a leader which could develop into what skills are required to make the best of those qualities in each person.”
“The coaching session allowed me the time to reflect on the materials from the day and understand how it will impact on my leadership.”
