Middle managers play an important role in the development and management of a school in terms of their capability and commitment. This has gained attention in the education field in recent years. In order to support the professional development of middle managers in primary schools, the Department of Educational Policy and Management of The Hong Kong Institute of Education started to offer a middle manager leadership programme in 2005. Altogether 264 participants were trained within 2005 and 2006. In addition to the systematic lectures and workshops, participants had to go through action learning which included school observation, role-play and peer sharing. This paper aims to review the effectiveness of the programme, with special interest on action learning. Based on the empirical evidence from the semi-structured interview, participants reflected that they learned better in the experiential in-service training.
