Leadership for Closing the Gap

Responding to the national emphasis placed on improving outcomes for disadvantaged learners and  reflecting the priorities of many school leaders, the National College (then NCSL) launched in 2008/09 an initiative on leadership for closing the gap. The original aims of the initiative were to:

improve participants’ leadership for closing the gap by increasing their capacity to act and their confidence and deepening their understanding of successful practice; demonstrate effective approaches to improving leadership for closing the gap; and share the outcomes with a wider audience.
