Why Middle Leadership Mastery?

Effective middle leadership is crucial to driving improvement in every school.
But leading from the middle is complex — balancing breadth, depth, and limited time can feel overwhelming.

This course is built to equip middle leaders with the essential knowledge, frameworks, and confidence to lead well, manage change effectively, and prioritise for maximum impact.

What’s Included?

In six live online sessions, Adam Robbins — experienced senior leader and author of Middle Leadership Mastery — will guide you through the core areas middle leaders need to master:
