The podcast features three experienced school leaders who begin their discussion by each offering their three core principles of best practice for effective recruitment and retention.

We then consider how we might go about finding the best teaching staff, including how we recruit effectively for specific roles, and what kind of things might attract high-quality candidates to want to work in your school. We also discuss what an effective recruitment process looks like.

When it comes to retention, our panel considers in depth how to build a school culture that is “difficult to leave”, including how we integrate new staff, mentoring, professional development and support, systems of appraisal, and more.
