Leadership for Learning: the Cambridge Network (LfL) was founded in 2001 by John MacBeath, David Frost, Sue Swaffield and Kate Myers. The decision to create a network, rather than a physical leadership ‘centre’, was based on the view that although the Network has a Faculty locus and management team its main activities would be ‘out there’ among its members and associates.

The management team are members of the Faculty-based academic group Leadership for Learning and, together with Faculty staff, international researchers and key policy makers, engage in activities that develop a web of collaborative knowledge creation and exchange.

Associates
