Our Alliance is keen to recruit a growing team of SLE's and NLE's.

For further information on what a Specialist Leaders of Education is or how to become a SLE please see the document at the end of this page titled Specialist Leader of Education.

Requesting School to School Support

SLE's can be deployed to support leadership developments in a school/subject area for any given period, ranging from a one-off session to on-going support over a term or academic year. The cost to a school to deploy an SLE is £350 a day. 

If you wish to request the support of an SLE from our Alliance to support leadership/subject developments in your school, please us at sla@southgate.enfield.sch.uk.
