Headteacher Speakers at Wholehearted for Headship Course.
"It is a well-known fact that women, for a range of reasons, do not seek the ultimate leadership role. As someone who has been in this role in incredibly fast changing and challenging times, I value this course. I see many examples of women who would be excellent headteachers, but feel deterred. This course is ideal for those who could make a considerable difference to the quality of leadership at a time when recruitment is a major issue."
Clarissa Williams, President NAHT
"Wholehearted for Headship is badly needed. There is so much talent in our schools, especially amongst senior women teachers, that such a course should redress the balance of women headteachers and improve the overall quality of leadership in our schools. At this critical time, with such a shortage of headteachers, it is essential to tap the huge resource of women school leaders at headteacher level for the benefit of all our children."
Andy White, Headteacher, Woodlands School.
