Vision and leadership focuses on developing a common vision and fostering high quality leadership at all levels.

Schools and centres must develop a shared vision to ensure a common purpose and a focus on preparing young people for the future.

Leadership should focus on the core business of learning and teaching. Great leaders have a deep understanding of change and how to guide and manage change that leads to improving outcomes for young people.
