The task of being an independent school Head has never been more challenging, with leaders facing unprecedented legal, regulatory, and reputational complexities.
Mishcon de Reya is offering independent schools a unique opportunity to prepare their aspiring future leaders through a dedicated programme delivered by our specialist education lawyers, designed specifically to equip Deputy Heads with the essential legal knowledge and leadership skills needed for successful Headship.
Modern school leadership requires sophisticated understanding of complex legal frameworks alongside traditional educational leadership skills. Our programme addresses this gap by combining legal expertise with practical case studies from real independent school scenarios, ensuring participants can immediately apply their learning in their current roles.
The curriculum
The curriculum covers the essential areas every future Head needs to master, covering the following modules over the course of six months. These will be delivered through a mix of online webinars for your convenience, and in-person events at our Central London office. Our course therefore provides the unmatched opportunity to network with peers and legal experts.
