Report: Rethinking Strategy in Independent Schools
The Rethinking Strategy in Independent Schools report sets out a best practice approach to strategy which is fully adapted for independent schools.
​
The report includes:
-
Best practice recommendations for strategy development and implementation in independent schools
-
Why it is important to build a culture of strategic thinking across your school
-
Trends in strategy development in the UK independent school sector
-
An easy-to-follow primer in strategy and strategic thinking, tailored for independent school governors, heads and senior leaders
Two handy checklists will follow the report to help you implement the recommendations.
This report will help if:
-
Your school has a strategic plan but you want to speed up implementation: check out Section 4 on building a culture of strategic thinking.
​​
-
You are involved in writing a new strategic plan for your school: the report will give your governors, head and senior leaders best practice advice on every step.
​​
-
You’re a governor, head or senior leader in a state school: all of the best practice recommendations are equally applicable to state schools.
