Key speakers: Andrea Berkeley, Sarah Evans and Barry Speirs

Advice and insights from experienced heads, governors, recruiters, and leadership development coaches on how to perform at your best when applying for school senior leadership. RSAcademics has worked with schools to appoint over 400 Headteachers and Deputy Headteachers. Based on this experience, gain insights into why some candidates succeed whilst others sometimes fail to do themselves justice when faced with a selection panel. 

We look at the reality of how schools select leaders, focusing on the panel interview, but also other aspects of the application and selection process. We will also share insights from our training courses aimed at helping candidates achieve headship, looking at what participants learned which helped them be successful.
