Joining Yorks100's 3rd cohort
Applications will open in November 2024 to start in September 2025
Thank you for your interest in joining (or recommending someone for) the 3rd cohort of Yorks100 leaders. Please do peruse this site to learn more about our movement's ethos and our shared purpose of eradicating educational inequality in Yorkshire. If you’re short on time (which, let’s face it, you probably are) here are the absolute key pieces of information you will need;
How much will it cost? £3500 for a secondary, £2500 for a special school and £1500 for a primary participant. Please do still get in touch if this seems impossible for your school or trust; we take our commitment to tackling educational disadvantage seriously and don’t want funding to be a barrier.
How much time will it take?
This programme runs for one academic year, from September until the following June.
It will require you to be out of school for about 13 days (for school visits and conferences) and away from home for 10 nights. The international visit is likely to be a 5 day commitment in your Easter holiday and this runs ever 2 years (so the next trip will be in 2027, combining both cohorts 3 and 4).
There will be 12 evening webinars throughout the year.
There will be about 15 hours of asynchronous learning to complete per term (3 x ‘Headteacher tasks’ to complete and present on + pre-recorded material and reading).
If you work flexibly and would like to discuss reasonable adjustments to make this more accessible to you, please do get in touch.
Will I get an accreditation? Currently we do not offer an accreditation for this programme.
Where can I find out more? Here is a form to register your interest and sign up to one of our upcoming information events. You can also watch the recording below of the launch event or book in a call with me (Verity) here. You can also email Y100@reachfoundation.org.uk with any other questions you may have.
How do I apply? Here is our application form, which will remain open until Monday 24th February 2025. We'll ask for some personal details and contact information (for you, your sponsor and your referee). We'll ask for some information about your recent career history. We'll pose three big questions and ask for three pithy answers—(A) Why do you want to be a headteacher in Yorkshire? (300 words max.); (B) How have you worked to close the disadvantage gap in your career to date? (300 words max.); and, (C) What would most help you now to become the headteacher that you want to be? (300 words max.)
Our Selection Day will be held in March.
