EHP programme details

Details of the Early Headship Provision (EHP) can be found below:

Entry

The focus is on the individual as a learner and participants can expect:

  • access to skilful support from an enabling provider
  • an overview of entitlement and practical support for accessing the early headship grant
  • expert advice regarding their leadership development choices

Other learning activities

The EHP grant can be used flexibly, enabling participants to have access to a wide range of leadership learning activities. These might include:

  • coaching - may be a one-to-one process, but where a number of participants indicate the same need for coaching and believe they would benefit from working as a group, the provider may arrange group coaching
  • participant-designed activities - this is intended to be an opportunity for new headteachers to work collaboratively with providers and their partners to customise learning activities to meet individual and group learning needs as they emerge
  • locally-designed and other activities - there is a wealth of opportunities available to new headteachers from other sources. Providers will support participants to access these where they meet an identified personal learning need. The flexible grant can be used to fund these activities
  • provider-designed activities - providers will offer a range of learning activities to support headteachers in issues that are pertinent, especially to their locality and context, as well as addressing the current educational agenda
  • National College activities - the flexible grant can be used to fund a range of College activities including events.
