The Chartered College of Teaching, funded by the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington (part of the Mercers’ Charitable Foundation), has developed six online learning modules for school leaders on the theme of ‘Leading Inclusive Schools’. Drawing on the theory, research and evidence, these modules aim to equip school leaders with the knowledge, skills and confidence to enact core principles of inclusive leadership in their schools, to increase equity in education for all students and staff.
