It certainly feels as though we are emerging from a long winter!

Our events have proved successful in keeping you informed of what is happening at the forefront of leadership. At our annual lecture on Tuesday 22 March, Sir Michael Barber shares ground-breaking research on international education systems, throwing light on what are the most important leadership practices. This event is now full: we will upload a video on www.lcll.org.uk so keep checking in. We still have many more events around the theme ‘Leading together’ scheduled for this year. The full offer and activity is shown here on our events page. While the LCLL website highlights current and future possibilities www.lcll.org.uk . Best wishes
