Course Overview
The ATHE Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Educational Leadership and Management is a 35-credit Ofqual regulated qualification.
The ATHE Level 7 qualifications in Strategic Educational Leadership and Management have been developed to conform to the requirements of the RQF, to meet the requirements of the education sector and to respond to the needs of schools, colleges and training providers. The qualifications take account of the Professional Teaching Standards underpinning Qualified Teacher Status in the UK and the National Standards for Excellence in Headteachers. The qualifications therefore support the professional development of those managing and leading organisations or specific functions in organisations, in the educational sector. The qualifications will provide a framework for developing knowledge, understanding and the skills needed to enhance the quality of leadership and management, The qualifications recognise that headteachers, principals and managers in education occupy an influential position shaping the organisation in which they work and the teaching profession. As stated in the UK National Standards for Excellence in Headteachers ‘they are lead professionals and significant role models within the communities they serve’. These qualifications are designed therefore to embed improved practice leading to higher levels of institutional success, including outcomes for students.
