Mentors and External Advisors

Mentors

The BDES endeavours to ensure that all new Principals/Headteachers as well as Vice Principals / Deputy Headteachers have access to a mentor, whether they are appointed on a permanent or interim basis.  If you are not currently acting as a mentor but would like to find out more about what is involved, please email leadership@bdes.org.uk [Note: this is an unpaid systems leadership role in the Diocese.]

External Advisors

The role of the External Advisor is key when Governors carrying out the Appraisal of Principals / Headteachers, particularly in schools that are not yet within a family of schools in a Multi Academy Company.  The BDES has identified a number of leaders that can act in this capacity.  If you have any queries or would like support in appointing to this role, please email Yvonne Salter Wright, Deputy Director (Leadership and Governance) at  leadership@bdes.org.uk
