The leadership scholarship programme provides opportunities for emerging RE/RVE/RME leaders to expand and deepen their reflections on educational leadership in the subject, through receiving mentoring, structured challenges, research insights, inspirational networking events, and experience of professional development delivery. We aim to develop leaders in the four areas of being research engaged, curriculum engaged, classroom engaged and politically engaged.
