If you are an experienced middle leader, or equivalent (see Appendix for Clarification of Terms), and you would like to work with leaders in other schools to improve pupil outcomes, you might want to consider applying to be a Specialist Leader of Education.
In addition to continuing the work in your own school (which includes maintained, faith, free, academy or equivalent), you would have a school improvement role with another school or schools. SLEs may operate as a discrete part of a bigger project, or stand-alone, but ultimately, the aim for all work is to drive forward school improvement. The impact of work is measured carefully.
The goal of the Specialist Leaders of Education is to increase the leadership capacity of other schools to help raise standards. This is an important element of the government’s plan to give schools a central role in developing a self-improving and sustainable school-led system.

An invitation to Jubilee Children’s Storehouse Open Afternoon on 25th April 2018. We would like to invite your School (maximum two staff members per School) to come and have a look around the newly established Children's Storehouse in Solihull Town Centre. The aim is to find out more about what we do, how to refer families experiencing financial hardship and to have an insight into the families’ experience when they visit. Please see flier below for more details.
Earlier this year Solihull local authority was successful in its bid for additional funding to support the take up of 30 hours by early education funded children. We have been able to book Julie Revels to deliver EYFS SEND training in June. Julie has supported the development of the NASEN EY SEND training materials and has a vast range of experience as a trainer and consultant specialising in inclusion in the early years. For full details, please see flier below.
