The Power of TEAM!

Everywhere in the public sector colleagues are facing relentless pressure, higher and higher expectations, along with the increased and increasing demands to do things more efficiently and more effectively...

The most important thing is that we continue to drive, guide and support schools to secure improved performance and better outcomes for every child and very young person... whatever it takes! The real challenge for colleagues is how do we maintain the momentum and stay focused on what really matters while we bring our collective energies and efforts to bear on the task of building the future? How do we further develop the leadership, the culture, the environment and the structures that support, challenge and enable our provision and our colleagues to deliver significantly better outcomes for children, young people and their families? This challenge involves not only us as individuals, operating from our respective vantage points in a highly complex system, but all of us together... the power of TEAM! We must re-imagine our systems, processes and provision and be brave enough to ask ourselves the difficult questions about what works, why some things are currently not working and what we can do to ensure that there is step change in outcomes for all young people.
