Over the past 12 months we have been working with our partners to refresh and revitalise the suite of National Professional Qualifications so that they can meet the current and future needs of aspiring, new and established school leaders.
During that time dozens of schools leaders have given their time to contribute insights and advice. The result is a substantial body of the most current thinking and practice from leaders of all types, across the phases and across the country. Here are six key pieces of advice that we have received from our primary leaders tackling various aspects of school improvement:
Helen Morris, principal, Cranberry Academy, Cheshire: “It’s about knowing your school through the hard and soft data so that you can focus in on what the real issue is. I think it’s important to be specific, so start with just one or two key things to target. Be open to brainstorming, magpie-ing ideas and sharing best practice. If something is not effective then don’t be afraid to change it. Learn from the mistakes but don’t dwell on them.”
