The title of our project is simply Development of Leadership in Secondary Education and consists of one application for a training course which will benefit our school from the top down. We have appointed a new member of the leadership team to travel to Finland and by way of cultural experiences in the classroom, comparisons made with other participants and teaching seminars, we aim to establish new strategies to leadership which will help us to improve our pastoral system and will in turn benefit our students in both their academic achievement and in their personal development and wellbeing.It will broaden our understanding of practices and policies and increase competencies within participants own practice. It will improve management skills in order to operate within an international setting. It will provide an opportunity to work collaboratively in developing plans for modernisation and for our own practice. The course encourages the use of a creative approach and includes sessions to develop partnership work with teachers and educators from within Europe. An action plan, to be implemented upon course completion will be developed throughout the week and will be uploaded to a public website so that teachers and leadership groups within the wider educational community can learn from this experience. A course specific certificate will be provided at the end of the training week together with the Europass Mobility Certificate.
