Women secondary headteachers: pass it on

Nottingham women pass it on

The University of Nottingham is holding its first event designed to encourage women into secondary school headship.

On 14 July, 40 women from Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire county schools will make up the first cohort of a new ESRC funded initiative designed to share research findings, further develop relationships and provide networking opportunities. This is the first in a series of events designed to increase the proportion of women headteachers in Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire.

The event will be hosted by Associate Professor of Educational Leadership, Dr Kay Fuller. Dr Fuller will be sharing recent research that suggest ways in which women might share ideas to enable advancement. They will be encouraged to 'pass it on'.

Dr Fuller will be joined by Hannah Wilson (co-founder of the #WomenEd movement) Carol Jones (ASCL lead for equality and diversity) and Janet Sheriff (headteacher at the Prince Henry Grammar School in Otley, Yorkshire.)

If you would be interested in attending an event of this kind in the future, or know an aspiring school leader who would, please get in touch via email.
