The SecEd Podcast: Back to school – A leadership checklist

Are you ready for the new school year? This podcast offers a checklist for senior leaders in secondary schools to help you prepare for the autumn term and beyond.

Our experts discuss common ‘new year’ tasks for school leaders as well as common problems at this time of year.

We focus on the school improvement cycle and self-evaluation – what should be in place and what lies ahead for the School Improvement Plan?

We talk staffing, including CPD, succession planning, induction of new staff, staffing shortfalls, and communicating priorities.

We talk parental engagement, curriculum-planning, assessment, governance and meeting cycles, and finances.
