SWIFT UPDATE Newsletter | Issue 18 | October 2023

In this next issue, Associate & Strategic Leader of Teaching & Research Schools | Education South West, Roger Pope CBE reflects on a trip to the opera:

"It is what school leaders do every day – and I do not only mean the Senior Leadership Team. Leaders at every level do it. Every single class teacher does it with his or her class. Leadership is horizontal, as well as vertical in a school. If you ever doubt that you lead your peers, think about how your mood affects those around you in the office or staffroom, how your attitude to your work, your values, your aspiration for the children affects others."

We interview Jenny Sutton from the National Institute of Teaching and share some numbers from our programmes this year to date and if you have yet to attend a Subject Leader briefing, you can find out more about the recent English session led by Ilsham English Hub.

Kingsbridge Research School explain the role of implementation climate in tackling disadvantage and  The MTPT introduce free return to work workshops and parental leave group coaching for parents currently on maternity /paternity leave. You can also find more information about our proposed SWIFT Reference Group in line with our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitment.
