The criteria are:

  • You are already serving as a primary executive headteacher / principal (ie have strategic leadership and accountability for more than one school); or
  • You are currently a headteacher / principal who is aspiring to the role of executive head / principal, with evidence of successfully leading a primary school / academy for three or more years.

It is also vital that you have endorsement from your chair of governors to support your application.

In addition, by registering for this programme, it is assumed that both the participant and the school have read and accepted these terms and conditions.

The Primary Executive Headteacher programme is a six month programme comprising of the following elements:

  • Two, two day residentials
  • Three web conferences
  • Completion of an online leadership diagnostic questionnaire
  • A visit to a federated school
  • An action research project
  • Course reading and research

Attendance at the residentials is compulsory in order for you to get the most benefit out of the programme. It is therefore assumed by signing up to PEH that you are available and committed to attending both residentials planned for your cohort group.

Completion of the leadership diagnostic questionnaire is compulsory and it is essential that you bring your report to residential one. You will not be able to continue with the programme without a fully completed diagnostic questionnaire. No refund of programme fees will be made to those who are unable to continue due to non-completion of the diagnostic.

Participation in web conferences two and three is also compulsory and you must let the programme manager at CEL know at the beginning of the programme if the web conference dates planned for your cohort are unsuitable. Where possible we will be flexible with web conference dates and times in order to accommodate everyone, however once the time and date is set it is your responsibility to ensure you are able to participate.

Details of federated schools who are willing to host a school visit will be provided, however it is the responsibility of each participant to contact the schools and arrange a suitable time for the visit.

During the programme you will undertake an action research project and to successfully complete the course you need to present your project and outcomes at the final web conference.

Programme cancellation, rearrangement and withdrawal

By joining this programme it is assumed that both the participant and school have read and accepted the terms and conditions outlined here. Full payment is required prior to commencement of the programme.

  • Ofsted inspections
  • Short-term sickness
  • Rarely cover
  • Level of workload
  • Change of role or employer

Due to the residential nature of the PEH programme it is not possible to transfer between programme dates or defer your place, as costs are incurred as soon as your place is confirmed.

49 – 1 days notice prior to the first day of residential 1 – 75% cost of the programme

DECLARATION STATEMENT - CPD COURSES - SCHOOL OF LAW

 

Declaration

It is very important that you read and understand this statement.  If anything is unclear, please contact [email protected].

DECLARATION

Compliance with University Regulations

 I do hereby declare that as a student of The University of Manchester I will submit to and observe in all respects the Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations and By Laws for the time being of the University.

In the event of all or part of my tuition fees not being paid on my behalf by an organisation, authority or sponsor, I hereby accept full and personal liability to pay the tuition fees required of me by the University.

The University of Manchester reserves the right to charge the correct fee per programme in the event of an incorrect fee being displayed.

Personal Data

I consent to my personal data being stored and processed in relation to all matters concerning my registration as a student of The University of Manchester.  By providing my mobile phone number, I am consenting to the University sending me text messages on occasions about its services (e.g. reminders of instalment dates for payment of programme fees).

 

ACADEMIC MALPRACTICE

I understand that academic malpractice (plagiarism, collusion, falsification or fabrication of data, cheating in examinations) is a serious offence and students found to have committed it will be subject to disciplinary action.  (Penalties can range from receiving 0 credit for a piece of work to having the degree classification reduced, or being expelled from the University).  I will take every opportunity to ensure that I understand what academic malpractice is and how to avoid it, and will seek advice from my School if I am uncertain.

Further information about what academic malpractice is and how to avoid it can be found in a PDF version of Guidance to Students on Plagiarism and Other Forms of Academic Malpractice (downloadable from Adobe).
