Live Learning 30: Middle Leadership

Live Learning is Future Anything’s continuing professional development series for educators.

Each month, the Future Anything team chat with movers, shakers, thinkers and doers from the world of entrepreneurship, education and beyond on topics designed to help build enterprising mindsets in schools.

Middle leaders play a crucial role in every school – driving improvement, supporting colleagues, leading teams, and turning ideas into action. When well supported, middle leadership becomes a powerful pathway for professional growth, impact, and influence beyond the classroom.

This Live Learning session shone a spotlight on what it can look like when schools get middle leadership right. Featuring voices from the classroom, middle leadership, and principalship, the panel explored how great schools are growing great leaders – through intentional support, clear structures, and meaningful opportunities to lead.

Whether you’re an aspiring leader, a current middle leader, or someone supporting others on their leadership journey, this session shared practical strategies and real examples of how middle leaders can thrive – and help others do the same.
