Education Executive May Digital Wrap is here!

This month’s Education Executive Digital Wrap has dropped and is ready for your viewing here

The weather is warmer, the evenings are lighter, and we can all get down the pub again (albeit outside)! Things are looking up and, as we head towards the summer, we hope restrictions will continue to be lifted, cases continue to fall and that life will start to get back to normal.

A lot has changed in the last year, especially for schools, and we start this digital wrap by looking at some of these changes. We start by asking you how funding changes have affected schools before looking at whether the increased use of edtech will be here to stay.

Nikki Edwards reflects on her career through the education sector and we talk to the LEO Academy Trust about how they have used the kickstart scheme in their schools to help those starting out on their career journeys.

We then talk all things green and look at how you can make your school more sustainable. A green-thinking culture is certainly important in today’s schools and so, too, is a culture of staff wellbeing.  Ross McWilliam explores how you can create this, and benefit both staff and pupils. Ian Buss discusses low interest rates and, importantly, how schools can improve their interest earned, and we share the updated DfE guidance for transport for schools. Edtech is just one of the many buzzwords of the year; our ICT MATTERS section focuses this month on how schools have embraced edtech, and how it can improve learning outcomes.

As always, we finish with a bit of light relief with our LIVE IT section which includes a fun 60 seconds with!
