What does it take to develop and retain strong school leaders in a changing and often challenging education landscape? In this session, Professor Toby Greany draws on his ESRC-funded research into Sustainable School Leadership, alongside insights from his work with Multi-Academy Trusts and local education systems across the UK.

He will explore the conditions and approaches that support effective leadership development, supply and retention, and share practical lessons from trusts that are investing in leadership as a driver of sustainable, values-led improvement.
