It is hard to know what 2019 will bring. Continued challenge and change is perhaps the only thing we can bank on. Paul Whiteman looks ahead to 2019, but you won’t find him making any predictions...

Dodgy predictions are 10-a-penny at this time of year, so I won’t add to the noise. However, I’m not going out on a limb too much by saying that 2019 will be another year of great change in education.

School leaders are used to coping with change. There’s never a period of rest when in that job. So school leaders are well equipped to deal with whatever 2019 throws at them.

The challenge for us at NAHT, at a policy level at least, is to encourage the government to make positive rather than negative interventions. In that respect, 2019 will be very much like the previous 12 months.
