Blair opens college for heads
Tony Blair has formally opened a training academy for teachers known as the Sandhurst for teachers.
In a speech at the National College for School Leadership in Nottingham, he said there had been great improvements in education and he spoke of the importance of good leaders in schools.
The college runs a course for would-be head teachers.
It is thought the government will announce that the course will be made compusory for new heads of primary and secondary schools in the state sector.
The college aims to provide up-to-date training for head teachers and senior staff, as part of the government's campaign to make teaching a more modern and professional career.
Training is also offered to subject and departmental heads, year heads, local authority advisors and schools bursars.
Tony Blair opened its new £28m headquarters on the Jubilee campus at Nottingham University.
The college was set up to provide this support and professional development for heads and senior staff.
The school leadership college has been running in the University of Nottingham for two years, but now has purpose-built premises, providing conference facilities and residential courses for up to 20,000 delegates a year.
Opening the new building, Tony Blair said:"Leadership is something learned. Good schools need good heads."
He said there was a need for vision and values and a strategy to deliver them and the need for a "national standard" among head teachers.
The college has taken over the running of three national training programmes - the National Professional Qualification for Headship, the Leadership Programme for Serving Heads and the Leadership and Management Programme for New Headteachers - from the Department for Education.
Tony Blair told head teachers at the opening ceremony: "People of my father's generation 50 or 60 years ago would have been staggered at the progress we have made but I know that we can make more progress."
