Getting Things Right in Schools

Over the years and in recent months I’ve seen lots of different, fascinating schools with great Headteachers; it’s so interesting to see how things are done in different places and the relative importance certain issues are given. Currently nearly everyone is talking about budget constraints, the challenge of implementing curriculum changes at every Key Stage and the uncertainty of new accountability measures. Everyone is talking about recruitment and the challenge of retaining staff long enough to develop them into expert teachers.
