In just five days, applications for the cohort 2 of East100 will close.
But what is it?
East100 is, at its simplest, a leadership course. You’ll join a cohort of twenty school leaders from different phases and settings for a year of development activities, in preparation for your first headship.

A core principle of the programme is that knotty problems (like the regional educational disadvantage gap) require multifaceted solutions.
Nobody is as smart as everybody, and kids in the east of England stand a much better chance of school leaders are working together.
It’s a mission. A movement.
We believe that collection action is the only thing that will shift the dial on this for all children in the East of England.
No single headteacher is going to solve the disadvantage gap on their own.
Children from underserved communities in the east of England enter primary school almost six months behind their more affluent peers, and the gap only grows from there.
By the end of KS4, disadvantaged pupils are on average two years behind their more affluent peers.
But headteachers can also act as civic leaders, understanding the assets and needs of the community that they serve, and coordinating responses to meet specific challenges.
That’s why we’re investing in the next generation of headteachers in the region.
People, we hope, like you.
