NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS... WHATEVER IT TAKES!

Just in case you were wondering, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow isn't going to help us out! No-one will be offering increased public expenditure over the next decade and the era of plenty that we experienced is over. But that doesn't mean we can't transform outcomes and release the magic!

We simply need a plan that builds on and draws from what we've learned about what works over the years and can be financed within the shrinking schools budget. And to do that we must stop doing the things that don't add value or make a difference. We must also stop grumbling about things, recognise how fortunate we are and just get on with it! Most importantly we must network, share and learn from the very best practice we can find wherever it is, ensure that we harness new technologies and join cooperative and collaborative networks so that every school shares its best practice so that resources can be focused and targeted on the journey ahead. The journey we all face is to make EVERY SCHOOL a  GREAT SCHOOL for EVERYONE in their local community... whatever it takes.
