KINDNESS MATTERS!

"Your greatness is measured by your kindness;

your education and intellect by your modesty;

your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices,

and your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others.

William J.H. Boetcker 

I don't know if you are aware but it's 'World Kindness Week' this week and tomorrow is 'World Kindness Day'.

Colleagues constantly ask me to write my story and since leaving Leeds I have been working on 'The Keys to Success'. If you are interested here's another page...

TRUE HAPPINESS!

"Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. 

It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose."

Helen Keller

The Cutlers’ “Made in Sheffield’ Programme!

The Cutlers’ “Made in Sheffield’ Programme now involves six schools. These schools are Bradfield School, Firth Park Community College, Forge Valley Community School, Meadowhead School and Languages College, Stocksbridge High School and Yewlands Technology College.

"There are seasons.. of inward and outward revolution, when new depths seem to be broken up in the soul, when new wants are unfolded in the multitudes, and a new and undefined good is thirsted for. These are the periods when... to dare is the highest wisdom."

William Ellery Channing

THE KEYS TO SUCCESS!

Over the last fifteen years I worked in two very different authorities in the UK, learning about how you build the foundations for truly outstanding education and learning. Colleagues constantly ask me to write my story and since leaving Leeds I have been working on 'The Keys to Success'. 

SKILLS MATTER!

The national and international research very clearly identifies that we need to re-engineer and re-imagine the curriculum in schools to meet the needs of employers and a rapidly changing world.

SIMPLY BRILLIANT!

We all know, that the quality of the teaching and learning team lies at the heart of brilliant learning.

HAPPY SUNDAY!

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin -real life.

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first,

some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.

At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

Alfred D'Souza

FIVE STEPS TO BRILLIANT!

A recent Hay Group study found that nearly 60% of people were seriously considering leaving or actively looking for new jobs. Worse still, a further 35% said they were only holding off because there weren't any jobs to go to! That doesn't leave many of us inspired and passionate about what we do! So how do we cope in such uncertain times?

CUTLERS' "MADE IN SHEFFIELD" AMBASSADORS AT LIFEWISE!

THE FORGOTTEN HALF!

In their report ‘The Forgotten Half’ for the Private Equity Foundation, DEMOS addresses the same fundamental issues facing Sheffield and most big cities across the country and across the world. The report suggests how we can produce a capabilities approach to education.
