NCSL Formal Advice to the Secretary of State on Succession Planning identifies that:
The data on the gender of senior leaders and headteachers suggests that increasing the number of female heads to reflect the proportions of females currently at deputy level would generate a further 330 potential heads a year.
WiSH aims to play a significant part in achieving more women heads each year.
"I have seen many very good women deputy headteachers who have undoubtedly shown the potential to become excellent headteachers. Often it is not ability that holds them back, but a lack of aspiration and belief in themselves. I believe that, after Wholehearted for Headship, these very able women would approach headship with enthusiasm."
Robert Wilson, Former Chief Adviser Hertfordshire and currently Chair of Governors.
