The most effective leaders seem to have erected a sheet of polaroid across the school
gate: all the confusing, paradoxical and frustrating initiatives hitting the school, as they pass through the Polaroid, emerge as parallel
lines, harmonious with our plans and processes.

Leading Edge Email: July 2010
I am looking for schools that can tell their story at the next round of events in focussing upon Medium to Longer term strategies for maximising achievement at Key Stage 4. I was very impressed with their KS4 Maths and particularly English interventions to raise achievement. Their head is very good - John Tomsett, and asked them to come up with new strategies this past year to raise achievement. Leadership is very strong at this school and John has put in place a number of whole school training days to create the right culture.

My return email: 29 August 2010 Hi Dominic I'm afraid our strategies did not have the impact we hoped. Sorry not to be able to help. Sincerely John

Nov 2010: The crux of the issue
Why do some students think, when they have seven hours of English lessons in Years 10 and 11 a fortnight, that ten one hour lessons, one a week leading up to the examinations, held after school when they and their teachers are tired, will suddenly transform them from D grade students to C grade students and make up for their lack of effort in their seven hours of lessons a fortnight over the past 18 months?
