Steve Munby spoke of the role of the College and of how it will move forwards from its most successful year. He challenged the traditional role of the headteacher and spoke of the complex role of leadership in a single institution. He finished his speech by asking colleagues to think about leadership being 50% consistency and 50% challenge. Steve's speech was streamed live from NCSL's website for viewers across the country.

Headteacher John Winter of Weydon School in Surrey gave his reactions.
The National College for School Leadership (NCSL) works to make a difference to children's lives through excellent school leadership – growing and supporting current and future school leaders so that they can have a positive impact within and beyond their schools.

Thanks, Steve! Good down to earth stuff and a proper emphasis on teaching and learning. I still see too many 'managed' schools - strong central leadership, lots of policies, loads of data, top down performance management (just what OFSTED used to expect, of course)and an overworked and undervalued staff. That's where T & L gets lost but I think we're now making progress in finding out what our core business really is.
