What makes a school world-class? Part 2

What process of change is needed in order to create a ‘world-class’ educational environment? Phil Denton continues his series looking at what makes an organisation world-class

In my first article in this three-part series (see further information) I set out the vision I am encouraging in my role as headteacher of St Bede’s Catholic High School.

That vision is for “...a world-class Catholic education that encourages our students to want to make the world a better place”.

Initially I discussed vision and culture as being crucial to any world-class school. In this second article, deliberately prior to identifying the operational specifics, I hope to share an understanding of the process of change which is recognised by outstanding schools in the UK as well as by exceptional companies that are highly successful.
