Diversity in school leadership case studies

This selection of case studies looks at the experiences of school leaders from diverse backgrounds.

These inspiring stories provide an insight into the background and career progression of each leader, and offer a wealth of helpful tips and advice for those of you facing similar challenges and in similar situations.

Each leader has benefitted from a range of National College-supported professional development opportunities, and we hope that their stories will help you to decide whether taking part would be a step in the right direction for you.
