Our November magazine has landed!

The November edition of Education Executive magazine is now live and ready to read!

It’s half-way through November which means, I think, we are now officially allowed to talk about the C word… Christmas! The Halloween decorations have been firmly put away, Mariah Carey is defrosting as we speak, and the countdown is on. It may seem early and I’m sure there are plenty of Grinches who think it is way too soon to start thinking about the festive season, but after another challenging year I think we could all do with some festive cheer. Also, it is the first Christmas since 2019 that promises not to marred by COVID restrictions, so that is something to look forward to if nothing else!

Our November issue is jam-packed full of expert advice covering topics from leadership, progression and wellbeing to marketing, ICT and compliance. To kick off our leadership by example section, Lorraine Langham explains how children who are lacking positive role models can access inspiration in your school and Stephen Mitchell give his advice on how you can convert your school’s values and visions into everyday operations.

SBL wellbeing and resilience has never been more pertinent than now, when pressures are rising but resources are dwindling. Dedicated to the memory of Julie Cordiner, Val Andrewoffers some advice on how you can use the 3 Ps to get through these difficult times. And, in the tune of McFly, Phil Burton says It’s all about you as he explores how you can manage your wellbeing during the school day. David Carne tells us all about ‘positive psychology’ and Emma Gray discusses her own experiences to highlight why it is so important that we know the right ways to support those who are struggling.

Moving away from leadership and wellbeing into operations, Helen Burge channels her inner Green Cross Code man to help you develop an effective travel plan for your school and Simon Hepburn gives his top tips on how to create an additional revenue stream through school lettings. We then go to our ICT experts, Gary Henderson and Nigel Milligan who discuss becoming more sustainable in your school’s tech use and which devices are most effective in school.

As always, we’d love to hear any suggestions you have for the magazine. If you’d like to get involved with EdExec, or if you’d like us to cover a certain topic, please do let us know. Contact eleanor@intelligentmedia.co.uk or tweet @edexec with ideas, opinions or success stories.
