ASCL CEO Community Event - Leeds

The ASCL CEO Network provides a trusted space for trust CEOs to step away from the immediate demands of their roles and explore the strategic issues shaping education. It brings together external thinking, leadership experience and peer discussion, helping CEOs make sense of a rapidly changing policy landscape and learn from one another. 

The Network is primarily a space for strategic sense-making and peer learning. The insight generated through these conversations will also help ASCL understand the realities of trust leadership and inform our wider policy work. 

Ongoing Programme

Monthly sessions will feature insights from leading thinkers, facilitated peer discussion, and explore the key challenges and opportunities shaping trust leadership. The Network is designed as an ongoing conversation, with each session building on previous discussions and emerging insights.

This Network is designed primarily for Trust CEOs who lead multi-academy trusts and are looking to engage in strategic discussion about the realities of trust leadership.

It is particularly suited to CEOs who want to:

• Reflect on the challenge and complex decision-making involved in leading trusts.
• Learn from other trust leaders in a trusted peer environment.
• Gain insights from research, external experts and thought leaders.
• Better understand and respond to the evolving education and policy landscape.
• Contribute to shaping ASCL's future policy development and support for trust leaders.

The Network is aimed at leaders who value strategic thinking beyond day-to-day operational demands and want to participate in an ongoing conversation with peers throughout the academic year, helping them make sense of emerging issues affecting the education sector.

ASCL reserves the right to amend the programme should circumstances dictate.
