We’ve seen a huge expansion in the number of multi-academy trusts (MATs) in recent years, with a resulting leap in the numbers of MAT executive leaders.
These leaders are often heads and executive heads who become heads of highly complex organisations of schools, requiring a very different set of leadership skills.
As national schools commissioner Sir David Carter has said, on-going development of strong MAT leaders through high-quality training and support is vital if we are to develop and further define the executive leader role and the credentials needed to be successful in it.
To help these leaders in these pressurised and highly accountable roles the National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership (NPQEL) has been launched. The first intake of MAT leaders are now taking part in the programme around the country, including one developed and delivered by Outstanding Leaders Partnership.
