ConnectED@Barrow has a number of Senior System Leaders, who work closely with our SLEs. We collaborate with our partner schools to raise standards through joint projects, in-school support and staff development. We offer School to School Support, bespoke support and CPD to a school, or groups of schools, in a range of areas, such as developing essential skills for effective middle leadership, TA training, and subject specialist training at all key stages.
All of this support can take different forms according to schools’ needs and requests, whether it is in the form of personalised training and/or follow-up support for individuals or groups. Our support is provided by a large team of System Leaders from a range of schools, who have a proven track record of excellence in their field.
Our team of System Leaders currently includes designated Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs) and Local Leaders of Education (LLEs).
The aim of System Leaders is to offer support to individuals and teams in similar roles in other schools. They are experienced leaders who have demonstrated outstanding practice and have the skills to support others in similar contexts.
