Ideas for developing students' cultural capital

Senior leadership
A trip to Eton as part of the Future Leaders programme challenged Kate Chhatwal’s preconceptions. She considers what the state sector can and is replicating from the privileged world of Eton

Every year, participants on the Future Leaders headship development programme visit schools across the country to observe best practice in different contexts. This includes secondary and primary schools in the independent and state sector. 

The aim is to give them a range of ideas to implement in their current senior leadership team posts and to help them identify the type of school they would like to lead as a head.

Afterwards, the Future Leaders come together to reflect on what they have seen. Unsurprisingly among a group of senior leaders committed to improving outcomes for disadvantaged children, the liveliest debate is usually around the independent schools.
