Professional Standards for Aspiring and Middle Leaders

We use the term ‘middle leadership’ for those with line management responsibility for teams which might include teachers, training, assessors, professional and administrative teams. The role of a middle leader is multifaceted and can be complex, therefore the Professional Standards for Middle Leaders should not be considered an exhaustive list of expectations. However, if you develop the knowledge, skills and attributes set out in the Standards, you will be well equipped to undertake the role of middle leader effectively.
