About the Yorkshire Leadership Community

The YLC stepped leadership programmes aim to provide a coherent developmental learning experience across all of the levels, which builds on prior knowledge and experience, provides progression in learning, and which is also financially viable for the schools involved.

All programmes in the YLC are underpinned with the following key principles:

· A focus on leadership learning that will have a positive impact on the education and outcomes of students in primary, secondary, special or other settings

· Effective staff development through the use of action learning and up to date, evidence based research

· The use of coaching to support the development of highly effective leadership behaviours

· The development of reflective and resilient practitioners, committed to career long learning

· The development of practitioners committed to supporting the learning of their colleagues

· Significant input from the outstanding school leaders who work across the region

· The provision of programmes that are responsive to the needs of the education system and its leaders
