Starting a new academic year is a busy time for every school leader. This practical September Leadership Check provides a quick way to review five key areas of school leadership and identify any priorities that may need attention during the first half term.

The checklist covers:

  • Leadership priorities – are your key priorities clear and understood by staff?
  • Subject leadership – are subject leaders clear about the strengths and development priorities within their subjects?
  • Curriculum progression – can you clearly explain how knowledge builds over time?
  • Self-evaluation – can you confidently explain your school's strengths, areas for development and priorities?
  • Inspection readiness – if Ofsted called tomorrow, would you be able to access the key information you need?

Designed as a quick 10-minute check for headteachers and senior leaders, this free resource can be used individually or as a starting point for discussion with your senior leadership team.

Identify your priorities for the term

Use the checklist to highlight areas where you feel confident, areas that need attention and your three most important leadership priorities for the coming weeks.

Download your FREE September Leadership Check and start the new school year with confidence.
