Following on from the Heads Leadership Programme Barnsley School’s Alliance Board are funding a leadership programme for primary Deputy & Assistant Head teachers for 2019/20.

It is open to all Barnsley primaries, including both maintained and academy schools with one FREE space allocated per school. If schools would like to send more than one member of staff additional places will be charged at £270 per person for the full programme.
