Teacher leadership charities to merge
Teaching Leaders and the Future Leaders Trust, two of the top leadership training charities for teachers, are set to merge.
The charities, which have a joint network of more than 3,500 school leaders, will continue to run current programmes as normal, but will pool collective expertise from each organisation to enhance their programme offerings.
As part of the move, James Toop, chief executive officer of Teaching Leaders, will become chief executive officer designate of the newly merged organisation, with the aim of eradication educational disadvantages in England’s schools. In addition, Baroness Sally Morgan will be the chair designate for its first year.
Toop said: “This is the right time for us to be taking this ambitious step. The education landscape is changing fast and school leadership has diversified to include executive heads and academy trust CEOs.
“Head teachers and leaders looking for expert leadership development will now be able to deal with one organisation and we, in turn, will continue providing them with outstanding professional development.”
