Abstract
The Headteacher Leadership and Management Programme (HEADLAMP) was introduced by the Teacher Training Agency (TTA) in 1995, providing access to an open market of induction and management development opportunities for newly appointed headteachers who would each have an entitlement of £2500 for the purchase of training within two years of their appointment. This paper reviews HEADLAMP provision from the headteachers’ perspective based on a cohort study that investigated attitudes towards issues such as management of the programme, sources of needs assessment, role of LEAs, funding and quality. There was a positive response to HEADLAMP, but questions were raised regarding management of the programme. Recommendations for the future development of HEADLAMP are offered.
