Being a blue skies Sponsor, Advisory Sponsor or Head Sponsor involves a significant time, energy and commitment.

Evaluations of the first five blue skies programmes were unambiguous — Learning Squares in which Sponsors deliberately and regularly contacted BPs, where they organised and structured meetings, and followed up on reports and regularly attended blue skies events, were much more effective in terms of learning than when Sponsors stayed more detached. The same was true for Head Sponsors. Effective Sponsors were organized, knew how to prioritize and controlled their time, rather than letting it control them. They rarely missed blue skies events. In short they were excellent role-models for Beginning Principals.
