What does it take to push beyond excellence? As Head of Pate's Grammar for 12 years, it was my job to find ways to lead one of Britain's top performing schools to new heights. Now at Misk Schools in Riyadh, I witness the same relentless passion and drive for excellence in support of the Kingdom’s ambitious Vision 2030 education goals.
Great schools need great leaders – not just at the top, but at every level. Drawing from my experience developing both student and staff leaders, I'll share:
- An overview of the leadership framework we developed at Pate’s that codified outstanding leadership behaviours at all levels – from student to Senior Leadership.
- Insights into the ‘Prep for Headship’ programme that I developed and now facilitate for the Grammar School Heads Association. Nearly a quarter of UK Grammar School Heads have been through this programme.
- Why I became an Executive Coach and the power of coaching in school leadership.
