Diverse Leaders – Leadership Interview Preparation

Join us for our Diverse Leaders programme – cohort 2.

Following the success of our 2017-18 cohort we are running our DFE Diversity Grant funded leadership development programme again in 2018-19.

This leadership development programme is subsidised to empower more BAME teachers to lead.

10 full days of training 9.30-4.00pm in Oxfordshire.

We have a brilliant line up of speakers and faciltators to inspire you.

Testimonials from our 1st cohort of BAME teachers and leaders:

“Hands down the best CPD program you will go on. I can say unequivocally without the diverse leaders program and the continued support from wonderful additions to my network I would not have achieved promotion to senior leadership.” Pran Patel, AHT and Diverse Leaders graduate from cohort 1.

“The Diverse Leaders Programme has been pivotal in transforming my outlook, attitude and confidence as a BAME professional. In truth, at the start of the programme I was not necessarily seeking promotion yet by the end of the programme I felt empowered to seek it and take it! Internalising lessons learnt throughout the programme was the catalyst for my going on to receive two cumulative promotions in the space of two years- and I will soon be seeking my third! Diverse Leaders helped me to realise that the glass ceiling above me was largely self-imposed. The programme gave me the tools to acknowledge and address barriers that held up that glass ceiling. I would highly recommend people to attend this course- it is the best CPD I have ever experienced- one that has literally changed my life”. Sana Bokhari, SENCO and Diverse Leaders graduate from cohort 1.

“Diverse Leaders was the opportunity I needed to help grow my potential. After securing my first promotion, nearly a year beforehand, it was the kickstart I needed to pursue my goals in Leadership. The programme gave me a huge sense of self-worth and it opened my eyes to the type of leader I was… and the type I wanted to be. By the end, I had transformed from someone who was unsure and not very confident on the inside; to someone who was self-assured, worthy and a new Head of Department! It also gave me a wonderful new network of colleagues and friends who I am grateful to have met!” Genevieve Bent, Head of Science and Diverse Leaders graduate from cohort 1.
