About Us

The Women Leading in Education West Midlands (WLiE-WM) is one of 9 DfE funded school-led regional networks to promote women in leadership by:

• supporting women at all stages of their career with their career progression
• facilitating leadership development and coaching
• providing opportunities to network and share effective practice

The role of the regional networks is to:

• raise the profile and importance of supporting women with their career within education
• identify and support more women with their career progression into leadership
• create local, regional and national networking opportunities to share experiences
• create the potential for development through coaching, mentoring and group discussions to raise aspirations and challenge myths and self-limiting beliefs
• provide regional and sub-regional CPD events and opportunities

Network members state one of the biggest benefits of the network is access to coaching.

WLiE-WM is supported by all West Midlands regional Teaching Schools and #WomensEd
