New Headteacher Induction 25-26

SAfE is committed to developing outstanding leaders who can transform schools and ultimately improve outcomes for children and young people. We are passionate about supporting collaborative partnerships.

The Schools Alliance for Excellence Induction Programme for New Headteachers/acting Headteachers across all phases in Surrey schools aims to support new Headteachers during the rewarding but challenging first year in role. Our induction programme gives you the opportunity to develop your leadership and establish relationships with other new and experienced headteachers, building your own professional network.

We begin the programme with a New Headteacher Welcome Breakfast in early September. Join us to meet other new to role headteachers and/or new to Surrey to meet the SAfE Team and other key stake holders that you will partner with.

In addition to the breakfast, the programme consists of six ‘in person’ sessions. Sessions 1 & 6 will be at the SAfE Headquarters and will focus on Leadership thinking and learning. Sessions 2, 3, 4, & 5 will be hosted in phase specific schools and will include input on a key element of Headship; Finance, HR, Governance & Curriculum. These sessions will include time with the host HT, a learning walk, expert input on the key element, and facilitated discussion about the topic and other relevant issues.
