Support for new head teachers
New head teachers in Luton have access to a level and quality of support that not many local education authorities can match.
As well as the national Head Start Programme for new Head Teachers there's also a comprehensive Children and Learning department induction file containing key contacts and background information.
As soon as you start work, we allocate you an experienced, trained mentor, and your School Improvement Adviser will be in touch within the week.
Going forward, there are regular networking meetings for heads, plus a thriving Head Teachers Association, with a separate Primary Leadership Association.
Training and development is a high priority, with a range of specially developed courses on offer covering key skills like leadership, management, governance and the curriculum.
