• Help the whole institution
• Enable staff to develop their role
• Guide and involve students

The problem

The revised Ofsted Framework emphasises the importance of effective leadership and management, and yet there are few resources which provide practical help or guidance to improve the skills and knowledge of the managers in the school. Furthermore, it is often difficult to ensure that the relevant information is distributed to all those concerned.

A real solution

The Leadership Toolkit offers a wealth of guidance in key areas of school management. The emphasis is on staff development, with a range of useful resources for supporting staff – even those with less experience. Provided on one CD-ROM, but containing the equivalent of 13 separate resources, the resource includes:

• detailed and supportive guidance for those concerned
• a range of supplementary digital files, most of which can be edited, in convenient formats
• activities and training material.

Easy to use and to distribute to key members of staff

The Leadership Toolkit can be placed on the school network. No installation is necessary – simply copy the relevant files over to your hard drive. Alternatively, separate elements of the resource can be copied from the CD-ROM as required.

Save time and money!

What’s more, the full cost of these resources would be £1535^+VAT. A special discount is available for purchasing the Leadership Toolkit (all the resources on one CD-ROM) so that the total cost is only £595^+VAT – a saving of almost £1000! Make the most of this special offer.
