Strategic Leadership Courses 2025/26

Action learning was originally developed in the 1940s and is used widely to support individual and organisational learning and development.

An action learning set is a small group of peers who have similar levels of experience and responsibility. They can be from one organisation or multiple organisations. The learning sets in this programme will focus on finding practical solutions to the important leadership challenges we face in schools, as well as supporting our wider leadership learning and development. Typically, a learning set is scheduled for 3 hours and includes structured time for presentation, questioning, reflection and action planning.

Learning sets generally focus on the aspects of leadership that participants find most challenging i.e. projects and activities that are complex and tend not to have a simple or known solution.

All sessions will take place at Learn Sheffield (Albion House).

Audience: Senior leaders in primary, secondary and special schools.
