This is what they said:

The programme is well-structured as a series of three sprints through which participants progress as they work from vision and strategy to action and reflection on action. The content is delivered flexibly, focussed in discrete blocks with supporting online materials. The model of delivery encourages ongoing reflection and engagement with networks a key part of the programme.

The programme focus is on leadership of change, consequently leadership of and for learning is explicit throughout the programme.

The programme develops leadership of self and others, leadership in a pedagogic context and project leadership.

Impact of the learning from the programme on children and young people is a central tenet of the programme.

There are clear links with the standard for Leadership and Management and the Professional Actions of Middle Leaders. The self-identified change action links with the context and policy landscape.

Networks are a crucial part of the learning with many learning activities designed to ensure effective collaboration between participants. The structure encourages participants to learn together and from each other as the progress through the programme. The team have considerable experience in facilitation of learning and online facilitation. Peer support is a key feature of the programme.

Enquiry is central to the programme. Links to relevant sources including research are built into the programme. Participants present on their change project to colleagues for peer review and must act as peer reviewers. Participants are required to critically reflect and skills of enquiry are developed throughout the programme.

The nature of the programme enables learning to take place over time with opportunities to practice the learning in action. There is time for participants to reflect on their learning in action. This combination of learning, practice and action followed by reflection supports the deepening of knowledge and understanding.
