Middle leadership is the hardest promotion in a school: the job changes completely, the training rarely does, and the people being led were colleagues last term.
This booklet is written for that first year and the ones after it — establishing authority without borrowing someone else's, challenging without souring a team, and producing evidence that is a by-product of good practice rather than an extra task.
- Written to DfE NPQ frameworks, the 2025 Ofsted framework & KHDA
