There are no set career stage expectations for senior leaders. We worked with one of our associate education experts, Nina Siddall-Ward, to produce suggested career stage expectations, based on how well leaders:
- Support other teachers to meet the Teachers' Standards
- Support the headteacher
You may want to adapt the expectations based on the specific responsibilities of the post in your school.
