Working together to develop leadership practice

Schools in West Sussex are embracing the challenge of the Redesigning Schooling campaign to develop their leadership and educational practice in key areas. Caroline Barlow explains.

The West Sussex Deputies Network (WSDN) has been working on “Redesigning West Sussex Schools” and came together for the first WSDN LeadMeet to discuss the on-going outcomes of SSAT’s Redesigning Schooling campaign.

Redesigning Schooling recently hosted a series of symposia with themes including teaching and learning, curriculum and assessment, and accountability – they saw school leaders and academics discussing how schools can set the agenda and develop educational approaches in each of these vital areas.

We sent representation to each of these and also enjoyed a one-to-one audience with Professor Dylan Wiliam to feedback and discuss outcomes of our curriculum forum.

Lyn Strathdee, from St Paul’s Catholic College, opened with a concise and informative summary of Professors Guy Claxton and Bill Lucas’s symposium, which posed the question “What kind of teaching for what kind of learning?” – reminding us of the education moral enterprise, and the many different layers of learning.
