Ethical Leadership

What it means to be a Leader in a Catholic School

Suitable for Teachers and Leaders from Primary and Secondary schools, this programme has been designed to explore the link between leadership behaviours and the Seven Virtues.

Programme leader Brendan McGurran looks at how school leadership values can be drawn from the Gospels and Catholic theology. The focus of the programme is for delegates to explore and reflect on developing their leadership skills whilst retaining strong religious values within their leadership roles.

Delivered across 6 twilight sessions, each module comes with a detailed workbook and a self-audit toolkit.

Brendan has delivered on the NPQSL, ITP and OTP programmes, in addition to his current role of Senior Vice Principal at Bishop Challoner Catholic School and Dean of Teaching School.

A previous delegate of the programme said:

“I left each session renewed both spiritually and mentally. I would recommend this course to anyone who is in leadership whether you are at the beginning of your career or several years into headship. This time to learn, reflect and renew will affect the way you approach a range of situations.”
