MA in Catholic School Leadership: Principles and Practice
Postgraduate Diploma in Catholic School Leadership
Postgraduate Certificate in Catholic School Leadership
The postgraduate programme 'Catholic School Leadership: Principles and Practice' is the only course of study available in the UK that specifically supports the distinctive leadership development needs of leaders and aspiring leaders at all levels and within all phases of Catholic education. From September 2012, NPQH will no longer be a requirement for headship. Aspiring heads may find that this programme offers the ideal alternative qualification.
This unique course offers both valuable career building academic qualifications and the opportunity to reflect upon practice to help you develop the skills needed within your current role.
Our flexible modular programme can be accessed wherever you live - within the UK or overseas. The same high quality programme is offered through alternative modes of study designed to meet the varying needs of busy professionals.
Courses involving regular face to face seminars based on the St Mary's campus or at other centres, commence in early October 2011 – apply now to secure your place on these courses. The date for the first Module 1 Saturday School is 1st October 6th October 2012 from 9.30am.
If you are happy to work independently with online support you can study through our Full Distance Learning mode. Full distance learners can start the course at any time of the year.
If you are committed to Catholic education, whether you an aspiring leader, carry a teaching and learning responsibility, have a senior leadership role or are a headteacher or principal, this course will support your ongoing professional and career development.
The programme is built on a solid theoretical foundation, but it also provides members with the opportunity to explore practical responses to the day to day challenges facing middle managers and senior leaders working in Catholic education. The feedback we get is that colleagues find the input excellent and they also value the fellowship gained from learning with, and from, others working in Catholic schools.
"May I take this opportunity to say how much I am enjoying the course and how inspirational it has been for me in my teaching and career at senior management level. May I also thank the whole of your team for your wonderful support and commitment, not only in your teaching and kind manner but also for spending so much of your time helping us with our assignments and ensuring that we reach our full potential."
Jenny Worthington, Primary Assistant Head.
