Welcome to the Southern Educational Leadership Trust (SELT)

The Southern Educational Leadership Trust (SELT) has developed seamlessly from its parent organisation, Education Management South East (EMSE), which was formed in 1996.

In April 2006, SELT was formally incorporated as an independent charitable company limited by guarantee.

SELT through its unique partnerships specialises in leadership development and has established a respected reputation for the activities it provides.

Who does SELT represent?

SELT consists of representatives from local authorities, dioceses, faith groups, universities, professional associations, charitable and private sector organisations committed to school and public sector leadership development.

SELT is an enterprising network that seeks to build on the strong links that exist within its partners to provide high quality leadership, team development and research opportunities.

The core geographical region represented by SELT partners is coterminous with the Government Office for the South East (GOSE) region which comprises local authorities, strategic health authorities, primary care trusts, schools, nurseries and pupil referral units. SELT also works extensively beyond this boundary.

The work of SELT is overseen by a Board of Trustees, which consists of representatives from partner organisations and independent consultants.
