Ofsted celebrates exceptional school leaders
Sir Michael Wilshaw has written to 3 headteachers who have shown exceptional leadership by supporting other schools to improve.
Her Majesty바카라 사이트™s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, has today written letters to 3 exceptional school leaders to congratulate them on their success in supporting significant improvement in other schools, as well as their own.
During the last few months, Sir Michael has asked inspectors to nominate leaders who have been instrumental in raising standards and improving the prospects of youngsters in previously under-performing schools. Today바카라 사이트™s letters are the first to be issued as part of this new initiative to recognise exceptional system leadership.
Sir Michael said:
I바카라 사이트™m very pleased to celebrate the achievements of these 3 exceptional leaders.
They have all taken risks, put themselves out there and spread good practice beyond their own schools. They are reformers who have turned their ambitions for success into reality, and raised standards for children not only at their own schools, but at other schools nearby.
We need more great leaders in our education system. By recognising these three people, I hope others will be inspired to follow their example and take every step necessary to improve the prospects and life chances of children in their own schools and in others.
The 3 exceptional leaders are:
- Dr Tom Canning OBE, Executive Head at Tollgate Primary School in east London, who also took on the role of Executive Head at the nearby Cleves Primary School. Under Tom바카라 사이트™s leadership, Cleves moved from 바카라 사이트˜requires improvement바카라 사이트™ in 2013 to achieve an 바카라 사이트˜outstanding바카라 사이트™ Ofsted rating in November 2015.
- Bradley Taylor, Headteacher at Chiltern Gate School in Buckinghamshire, who also took on the role of interim Head at nearby Maplewood School. Under Bradley바카라 사이트™s leadership, Maplewood moved from 바카라 사이트˜inadequate바카라 사이트™ in 2014 to be judged 바카라 사이트˜good바카라 사이트™ in November 2015.
- Kerrie Lewis, Headteacher at Condover Church of England Primary School in Shropshire, who also took on the role of acting Headteacher at nearby Shrewsbury Cathedral Catholic School. Under Kerrie바카라 사이트™s leadership, Shrewsbury moved from 바카라 사이트˜inadequate바카라 사이트™ in July 2014 to be judged 바카라 사이트˜good in November 2015.
Sir Michael will continue to write to exceptional leaders throughout the year, and the names of every recipient will be published in Ofsted바카라 사이트™s 2016 Annual report on education and skills.
Today바카라 사이트™s letters have also been sent to the Secretary of State for Education, Nicky Morgan.
