Diary of a headteacher: On the shoulders of giants

When you start the headship journey, the most important thing you can do is have someone at your side to guide you through those early days…

Last week we hosted a visit from members of our multi-academy trust’s leadership foundation. This is a group made up of deputy heads from all the MAT’s secondary schools. A very notable figure in education is leading the group. He joined us to have a look at what we’ve been up to one year on from the “inadequate” Ofsted judgement.

The leader has been a key thinker in education for the past 30 years. He has received an honour from the Queen and has been published on multiple occasions. I would suggest that, if you’re reading SecEd, you are highly likely to have one or more of his books on your shelf. He has worked for the Department for Education and Ofsted and travelled the world advising on how to improve the lot of students in classrooms.
