With just over a week until EdExec LIVE Harrogate, we thought this would be a prime time to spotlight one of our expert speakers, Andy Mellor
Many of you will recognise Andy from his extensive 20-year career in the education sector. Andy currently serves as the national wellbeing director for Schools Advisory Service and the strategic lead for the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools at Leeds Beckett University. He is also a past national president of the NAHT.
The EdExec LIVE team is thrilled to have Andy delivering the keynote seminar at the upcoming event on 6th November in Harrogate. Drawing from his wealth of experience, Andy will be presenting a session on ‘Riding the Ofsted Inspection Wave,’ offering valuable insights into navigating inspections with confidence.
Inspections can be a major source of concern for SBLs, particularly those who may be experiencing their first inspection, or who have previously faced challenging outcomes. The pressure to meet standards, demonstrate compliance and support the entire school team during this intense period can be overwhelming. For many, the high stakes of these inspections add an extra layer of stress, and it can feel like a wave that is difficult to ride out.
In this interactive workshop, Andy will share tools and strategies drawn from his experience with 10 Ofsted inspections—one of which saw his school progress from “Requires Improvement” to “Outstanding.” He’ll provide practical advice on how school business leaders can ensure their staff not only survive but thrive during inspection weeks.
Whether you’re preparing for your first Ofsted inspection or looking for ways to better support your staff through the process, this seminar will offer key takeaways you can apply immediately, so don’t miss this opportunity to benefit from Andy’s expertise, along with a full day of networking and learning.
