Leading at Star

Senior and middle leaders play a critical part in developing and implementing all strategic and operational decisions at cross-school and whole-school level. As a key role model in the school, senior leaders must demonstrate collective responsibility, be at the operational sharp edge of change and effectively manage staff. From the Principal’s instructional leadership to the management of teaching and learning at middle leadership, the school leadership team is critical to the success of an academy.
