  As a recruitment company that specialises in leadership, we have recently made a push to celebrate successful school leaders across the country. From the UK’s first disabled headteacher to the headteacher who developed the No Outsiders Campaign, we now wanted to shed some light on the social media guru Ross McGill.

We wanted to share the inspiring story of Reema Reid. From Lunchtime Supervisor to Headteacher Reema's hard work and determination helped her work her way up the education career ladder.

We believe it is important for children to have role models from different backgrounds and to see minority groups in leadership roles so they can feel empowered and encouraged to live up to their full potential. In this blog, we will be focusing on Gina Gardiner, a disabled headteacher. 

In this blog, we wanted to highlight the work of Andrew Moffat, the creator of the No Outsiders campaign.

We wanted to take the time to commemorate Sukhdev Singh Mangat, the country’s first Asian Headteacher and from the Midlands - where we’re based.

  After a recent interesting conversation with one of our senior leaders about her inability to sleep during the workweek due to high levels of anxiety about work, we wanted to highlight the issue of work insomnia as we know it is something we all struggle with in education.

As a specialist leadership and permanent services recruiter in the education sector we have seen first-hand the positive effect a diverse leadership team can have in a school environment. With the current percentage of black female headteachers being just 0.2% we wanted to highlight some ways in which you can diversify your school leadership team.

 We wanted to take the time to shine a light on Betty Campbell, a figurehead for the development of women’s role in education and Wales’ first female and black headteacher.

Working as a special education needs coordinator (SENCo) can be a rewarding role. However, it can be difficult to balance the ever-changing demands of students and staff, your work-life balance and your more holistic plan for the school year. We have some advice as to how you can deal with all of these commitments successfully.
