System Leadership is a distinctive feature of our East Sussex school improvement strategy. It empowers schools to play a central role in the continued development of a sustainable self-improving school-led system through working in collaboration.

Drawing on the principles of strong leadership and professional practice, professional generosity and concern for all learners, system leadership

• Is focussed on the pursuit of excellence and best practice
• Builds capacity in the system for school support, challenge and improvement
• Recognises and makes the best use of the expertise within our schools
• Improves practice in schools receiving support and those providing support
• Enables schools to identify and address local priorities
• Provides career opportunities and professional challenge at all levels
• Encourages great teachers to remain in the classroom and great headteachers to remain in their schools

Helping schools and colleges prepare and inspire young people for the fast-changing world of work is at the heart of what we do. Across East Sussex we have seen countless inspiring examples schools and colleges doing just that for young people with Special Educational Needs (SEND). The Gatsby Benchmarks provide a robust and high-quality national framework for career guidance. They help to deliver a system of high aspirations for all students in all types of settings, including those with SEND. Careers for all is a social justice issue. A stable careers programme for all young people, including those with SEND, will help to close the gap .
