A Culture of Innovation: British Schools Overseas (2022)

The report combines articles from previous contributors who update us on the new developments in their schools as well as pieces from international school groups who are bringing a new approach to education in the UK and overseas. The volume reflects the level of innovation that is taking place in international education, both as a response to the pandemic but also as a natural consequence of the dialogue between schools in the UK and their sister schools in other parts of the world.

Robust, Resilient and Ready: Assessing and Strengthening Governance in Charities and Education (2021)

Robust, Resilient and Ready brings together leaders and board members from across the charity and education sectors to focus on what good governance looks like and how to achieve it. The report, our fourth to address this key subject, combines insights into bold approaches to governance and its challenges from those managing and supporting charities, schools groups and universities.

What Makes A Good Teacher? (2021)

What Makes A Good Teacher? brings a range of perspectives to this important question. Though contributors approach the question from a variety of the types of schools, age ranges and levels, they all share a belief that the quality of teaching and learning matters at every stage in the educational process. The question they answer has never been more relevant than in early 2021, following a twelve month period in which schools, colleges and universities have had to adapt rapidly to online and blended learning and teachers have had to master new media and skills and take on responsibilities which they have never had to address before. Published in partnership with Dukes Education, Keystone Tutors and UCEC.

This report was launched with an online discussion available to view here.

Charting A New Chapter: How to Establish and Maintain A Portfolio Career

In this webinar for The Financial Services Club, Edward Wild, founder of Wild Search, shared his experience of advising on non executive and trustee appointments over more than a decade. It was aimed at those either considering their first non executive role, or seeking to combine a number of such roles following their executive career. It was also of use to those seeking non executives or trustees for their organisation, as it is important to understand the motivations of those taking this route so as to secure the best people and retain them.
