I would like to congratulate to HTI reaching on its 25TH Anniversary and for all the fantastic work it has done

over the last quarter of a century.

Since it was founded in 1986, HTI has contributed a great deal to improving standards in schools up and down

the country. HTI’s model, of business leaders supporting school leaders to raise aspirations and of teachers

spending time working in the private sector in order to learn about its ways of working, has proved very

successful and I know that the experiences that senior staff have had of the business world through HTI’s

programmes have radically changed their mindset and their approaches to leadership. When they have returned

to their schools, they have been more strategic, more focused, and more able to deliver the education that

young people deserve. Many have gone on to lead important innovations in education, such as setting up the

first City Technology Colleges and Specialist schools. By working with 21,200 school leaders over 25 years, the

HTI has potentially impacted on 9,500,000 young people, a wide-reaching contribution to our education system.

What is most important about the vision of HTI, however, is that it remains as relevant today as it was in 1986.

Developing school leadership is fundamental to our drive to improve standards and the contribution of HTI will

be valuable in achieving this aim. HTI unfailingly approaches any challenge with energy and enthusiasm and I

particularly value the fresh, independent perspective that it brings to important policy questions. I know too that

my Ministerial colleagues have enjoyed participating in Strategic Forum events and have found it very helpful to

discuss education issues with school and business leaders.

I would like once again to congratulate all those working for HTI, and all those who have done so since 1986, on

their achievements and I wish you all well for the next 25 years!

We believe that every child will have increased life chances if there is a close working

relationship between education, business, government and public services.

We are unique in providing brilliant brokerage between leaders of business and schools to

share understanding, knowledge and skills.We lead the way in building these partnerships, so that school leaders are equipped with

relevant skills to inspire and prepare every child for future life and work.

We are pioneers in developing and delivering school leadership development programmes

that stretch thinking, skills and capacity.

Our impact will be measured by innovatively led schools, where strong community,

public service and business links, combined with teaching for life, not the

test, give every child the opportunity to Go4it.

reflections from the

chaIrman&chIef executIvedevelopment ever since: influencing policy, brokering ideas and talent exchanges across the sectors and drawing on best leadership practice from within and outside education to create distinctive programmes which challenge education leaders to think and act differently.

Our 25th anniversary comes at a time of radical change for education. The expansion of academies, introduction of free schools, increased emphasis on collaboration and move away from centralised and local authority control all carry significant implications for school leadership and governance. Greater freedom and autonomy may be welcome, but they bring their own challenges. At the same time, employers urgently need to tackle skills shortages and young people face record competition for university places and jobs.

With fewer centrally-driven national programmes we are focusing on designing and delivering on our own and in partnership with others. Structured around leadership, school and student development, our programmes are uniquely enriched by our exceptional cross-sector network. They aim to raise attainment and the quality of teaching, but also give a global perspective, promote employability and a can-do spirit in young people and stimulate culture change. Go4it, our awards scheme for schools with a risk and innovation positive culture, is a fantastic example of the broader dimension we are able to give to school leadership.

Like the government and the 50 leaders interviewed for our 25th anniversary book Lessons for Life, we believe nothing matters more to the aspirations of young people than inspirational teaching. But it is outstanding leaders who inspire teachers and developing outstanding leaders is our business.

for 25 years, through three governments, changing political agendas and economic turbulence, we have retained an unstinting focus on developing outstanding education leaders to inspire young people and improve their life chances.

Our mission has been all about inspiring success - for education leaders, teachers and young people - and this is the focus of our 25th anniversary celebrations.

If you turned the clock back 25 years you would recognise many of the challenges we face today: raising standards and attainment; improving employability skills; enhancing relations between education and business. One big difference was the near absence of any form of professional development for school leaders.

Industry Year 1986 was the catalyst for change, with HTI emerging out of a pioneering alliance between education, business and government. Its aim was to give school leaders stretching opportunities to develop their skills, understand employability issues and build bridges with business. Our secondment programme for school leaders to spend up to a year working in business was unique and life-changing – not just for the school leader, but for teachers and their pupils.

Ten years later we became the UK’s first education leadership centre and have been at the forefront of education leadership

thIs Year:

Our work is about improving the life chances of young people. We have a range of programmes designed to support this aim, including Go4it, the only national awards scheme in the UK for schools which demonstrate a culture of creativity and innovation and a positive attitude towards risk, so that students are excited and inspired by their learning. Our new peer mentoring programme, Inspire, aims to raise the aspirations of challenged or disaffected students by matching them with young people who have overcome similar challenges.

We provide a wide range of training and development opportunities to school leaders at all levels, as a lead provider for the National College, through our own programmes and bespoke solutions to specific development issues. We also provide interim assignments for senior teachers to work within business through our pioneering ‘Stretch’ programme, which gives hands-on experience of leadership and management in another sector, as well as a deeper understanding of the employability skills young people need.

We offer a suite of programmes and services providing support on a more operational level to improve the development and performance of the whole school or college. These include management, finance, Academy strategy support, governor training, marketing, reputation management and HR. We also give teachers opportunities to broaden their international perspective through study visits, shadowing and exchanges in other countries.

leaderdevelopment

Developing inspirational, world-class school and college leaders has been our business for 25 years. Great leaders inspire great teachers to give children and young people the

education they need to thrive in life and work.

The landscape for school leadership development is changing. Education leaders face diverse challenges, but they also have more freedom and autonomy than ever before to give young people a better education.

We have responded by refocusing and revitalising our leadership development programmes. Our new portfolio has clear relevance to leaders at all levels and across all types of schools and colleges, both state

and independent, as well clusters, federations and local authorities.

Our redefined and redesigned programmes reflect everything that makes HTI unique as a national provider of leadership development:

• access to the latest thinking and techniques from both within and outside education

• strong connections at leadership level across business and other public services

• strong partnerships with respected creators of innovative leadership development programmes

• the credibility that comes with a 25-year track record for quality, impact and results.

development programme seals head’s decision to take academy route... and hti supports the process

“The best professional development experience as a headteacher.”That is how executive primary headteacher Diana Owen described a week coordinated by HTI on behalf of the National College for School Leadership to develop the leadership skills of National Leaders of Education (NLE).

Diana joined 23 NLEs to work on a major national educational challenge, with expert input from leaders across a range of different sectors. The experience not only broadened her leadership perspective, but also crystallized her decision to convert three Nottingham primary schools – including her own – to academy status from September.

“I may not have made this decision had I not attended that programme, but it accentuated my desire to make a difference to more children’s lives. I certainly wouldn’t be able to take things forward with so much confidence were it not for the expertise and support I’m now receiving through HTI.”

Diana will be leading the newly-formed academy trust. Already other schools from within and outside the region have expressed interest in joining.

We’re moving into uncharted territory and it looks as though the momentum is going to grow quickly. Having access to a national perspective and expertise in crucial areas such as marketing, finance and planning support services has been invaluable. diana owen

Bespoke Solutions

greater autonomy and changing roles have increased demand for bespoke development programmes from schools, colleges and local authorities.

The Children’s Services team in Walsall wanted to develop a new integrated working programme, which would enable multiple agencies to deliver high quality, seamless support to vulnerable children and families in the area. Project manager Craig Scriven was looking for a programme partner who would deliver an exceptional solution, on time and in budget.

“HTI took on board the fact that we were looking to develop and deliver something which had never been done before. We worked in partnership to develop Leading Integration in the Children’s Workforce, which has now been delivered to middle managers across seven different sectors, with senior level buy-in. We were so impressed by the professionalism and success of the programme that HTI went on to develop a fantastic succession planning and talent management programme, which has been delivered to over 70 managers across the West Midlands.”

Leading for Results

We have many years, experience of developing the skills of middle leaders, who play a vital role in raising the quality of teaching, learning and student attainment in our schools and colleges.

This year we worked with the Centre for Educational Leadership, University of Manchester and the Hay Group to develop and launch our own bespoke programme, Leading for Results.

This personalised, practical and powerful programme helps middle leaders to become more effective as individuals and more skilled in empowering their teams to improve standards.

Leading for Results, fully subscribed in its first year, is part of a suite of complementary programmes designed for those just setting out on their leadership journey to become deputy, assistant and aspiring headteachers.

“”

1993 | Out of the comfort zone: Annette was seconded as a senior teacher to National Grid for a year, where she managed a major project on senior manager competencies for the 21st century.

“My secondment was the best professional development I have ever had and as a direct result I moved straight into a vice-principal position.”

Her secondment influenced curriculum development, human resources strategy, crisis management and customer focus, as well as enhancing work experience links and her understanding of employability.

2001 | Onwards and upwards: Annette took up her first headship at Heart of England Secondary School – a promotion she directly attributes to her secondment. Amongst her many achievements, she led the school to Business & Enterprise specialist status and spearheaded its local and regional reputation for collaboration.

2005 | ‘Stretching’ staff: Spurred by her own secondment experience, Annette gave two senior managers secondment opportunities: one to influence CPD practice nationally through the DfES; the other to research cross-sector best practice in creativity and innovation.

Their learning strengthened the school’s training school bid, inspired innovation and was the impetus for the redesign of the sixth form centre.

Promotion: Appointed headteacher of Chipping Campden School, where her experiences through HTI are reflected in her forward-looking leadership.

Inspiration beyond our shores: An enterprise-themed study trip to Ontario, organised by HTI, inspired several enterprise-related projects, boosted employer and governor engagement and informed vocational developments.

2007 | Extending influence: Annette shared her experience of new technologies with participants at a conference jointly hosted by the e-learning foundation and HTI.

2008 | Leading Edge Partnership School: Chipping Campden School became a Leading Edge Partnership School, working collaboratively across four schools and two LAs to improve outcomes for students more widely and enhance staff development.

2009 | Wider influence: Annette was designated a National Leader of Education and Chipping Campden became a National Support School.

2010 | Digital Xpert: Annette contributed to the BectaX conference, exploring what it means to be a 21st century school in a connected world.

Go4it culture: The school earned HTI Go4it status for its endeavours to give students an inspiring education and received its award from former HTI President Digby, Lord Jones of Birmingham.

2011 | Sharing learning: the school organised and hosted the i-share conference for 300 staff with 37 workshops and two keynote speakers as part of is Leading Edge work.

Lessons for Life: Annette shared some of the ‘lessons’ she has learned about education, many activated by HTI development experiences, in HTI’s 25th anniversary book Lessons for Life.

enduring impact

Richard Hunter came full circle, as he had always intended, following his secondment to the HSBC Education Trust in 2002.

His experiences from that year, and along the way, are now impacting and informing his leadership of Robin Hood Junior and Infant School. During his 12-month secondment, Richard worked with schools all over the country, contributed to national projects and advised government ministers and policy makers.

“I learned so much from being exposed to such a variety of situations, schools, influential people and switching from a localised to a national setting.”

When he returned to school he realised that he (and his staff) had grown personally and professionally and it was time to move on to the next challenge. He returned to the Trust and later moved to the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, but his love of school leadership never left him. In 2010 he returned to headship.

“My experiences on secondment made me realise that there is no better place to work than in a school - and with such a powerful network at my fingertips I know I can give my new school fantastic opportunities that would not otherwise have been possible.”

melanie warnes, Headteacher of The Castle School in Bristol and a successful National Leader of Education, wanted to broaden her repertoire of experience and strengthen the whole school leadership team.

The impact on Melanie and her team...

HTI brought the two together through a two-term Stretch secondment.

PwC is a long-term supporter of Stretch. PwC Northern Ireland has benefited from a succession of 13 teacher secondments since 2004, but this was the first secondment on the UK mainland.

During her secondment Melanie worked on a wide variety of revenue-generating projects, including the development of a school improvement benchmarking tool.

• The importance of responding to new challenges with confidence, flexibility and agility – skills she resolved to develop in her students

• Deeper insights into political change• Hands-on involvement with policy change• New ideas on team building, performance

management and project management• The confidence to fulfil a long-standing ambition to

set up a school improvement company• New leadership skills for her senior team, giving her

more time to focus on strategic issues• An expanded network of contacts.

• Access to deep specialist knowledge and expertise in school improvement and special educational needs

• A reminder of the importance of PwC’s work to young people and communities

• An empathic, motivational and challenging coach • Valuable input to revenue-generating projects• An excellent ambassador for PwC with schools, local

authorities, government and business.

Chris Kirk, Education and Enterprise Partner at pricewaterhousecoopers (pwc) was looking for a headteacher and subject matter specialist who could support his team and clients through changing roles and new challenges.

The impact on Chris and his team...

Stretching horizons

Stretch, our secondment programme for education professionals to work in business and public sector organisations, has changed the lives of hundreds of school leaders.

In turn, they have helped to make education more relevant to thousands of young people by giving them a better understanding of employability and the workplace.

Twenty-five years ago secondments were breaking new ground in leadership development. Over the years the programme has evolved and adapted to changing priorities. Business is now far more hands-on with education, but the value of secondments is as relevant as ever to current challenges for education, society and the economy.

“Before I went to PwC I’d had thoughts of setting up a company attached to the school. Now I know I can do it and I’ve got the contacts at PwC to help me to do it.”

“Melanie had deep expertise in two areas of particular interest to our clients. As a NLE, her ability to leverage advice through her extensive networks was invaluable.”

More business and em

ployability- savvy school leaders


The massive expansion of the academies programme, introduction of free schools and move away from centralised and local authority control have given school and college leaders more

autonomy and freedom. But they are also more accountable for raising teaching standards, student aspirations and attainment and global rankings.

Our school and college development programmes help leaders to tackle the operational challenges associated with wider responsibilities and greater accountability.

Marketing focus

The challenge of attracting students and staff to schools, as well as business and community involvement, is focusing attention on reputation management and marketing.

Thorpe Hall School in Essex was one of the first clients to use our new marketing consultancy and support service to review the effectiveness of its marketing and develop a strategy for the future.

Academies (primary and secondary) and free schools need robust operational structures to support changing roles and new management responsibilities.

We are helping to achieve this through the creation of a new suite of e-learning programmes for business managers and school administrators, developed in partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University.

The first four programmes, to be released in September, will focus on the crucial areas of finance and risk management, law, marketing and human resources management. Programmes for later release will cover business and enterprise development, quality management, creative business management, safer cultures and facilities management.

Each of these accredited courses is designed to be accessible, user-friendly and cost-effective so that school leaders have the in-house business and administrative expertise which is so necessary to school improvement.

Take5

Take5 is the mirror image of Stretch. It gives business employees the opportunity to help schools develop specialist management skills which are vital to new roles, wide responsibilities and school improvement.

BT is one of a growing number of companies which recognise that encouraging their employees to volunteer is good for the personal and professional growth of the individual, good for the community and good for the business.

Through Take5, HTI is one of three national providers of employee volunteering opportunities to BT.

When we asked our network of schools to submit potential projects we received an outstanding response. Not surprisingly in the current climate of change, support for marketing projects was top of the wish list, but there was also strong demand for help with creating outdoor learning spaces, strategic planning, IT and finance.

secondment leads to outstanding team award

Jeremy Taylor, headteacher of Fleming Fulton Special School in Northern Ireland, is in no doubt that his hti secondment to pricewaterhousecoopers (pwc) was directly linked to winning the outstanding team of the year National Teaching Award in 2010.

The problem: Faced with an exodus of special educational needs (SEN) pupils into mainstream education, Jeremy knew he had to take radical action.

The ‘aha’ moment: While he was working at PwC, helping to shape and inform education policy, he realised that educators don’t have to be passive recipients of someone else’s decisions. They can be shapers too.

The action: With lottery funding Jeremy set up a specialist team to help mainstream schools give the best possible to SEN pupils. By the time the team received their award, they had increased the participation of more than 100 young people with physical disabilities in 70 mainstream schools.

The judges said: “What we have seen is a truly unique team who will influence policy on the education of children with physical disabilities in the future.”

Supporting new governance models

Strong governance is another key issue for academies and free schools.

High quality training is essential to ensure that governing bodies have the right structure and skills to drive up teaching standards, school improvement and accountability as well as manage resources prudently and creatively.

Drawing on our extensive experience in this area, we have helped the management teams of two free schools to develop their governance structures, identify essential skills and understand their responsibilities to parents as well as other key stakeholders.

HTI staff would like to thank BT for its generous volunteering support for team training.

A vital part of creating a world-class education system is understanding how other nations are tackling education challenges and learning from their experiences.

Over the past three years, we have given almost 2000 teachers that opportunity through the Teacher International Professional Development Programme (TIPD).

This year groups have studied a diverse range of themes in developed and developing nations right across the world: thinking skills in the Netherlands; innovation in Shanghai; creativity in Denmark; Special Educational Needs in Belgium; behaviour management in Sweden; challenging circumstances in Jamaica; coping with very limited resources in Uganda.

These visits inspire, give insight, change practice, develop networks and boost morale.

Expansion of international learningWhen funding for TIPD was withdrawn earlier this year, we seized the opportunity to use our experience and contacts to develop a broader, more flexible programme and extend it to teachers overseas, as well as in the UK.

International Professional Development in Education (IPDE) will give educationalists opportunities to:

• Study how other countries are tackling a wide range of issues from curriculum and leadership to innovation and sen

• Swap roles through short and long-term exchanges and learn from peers through job shadowing

• Shape their own international learning experiences for groups from their own schools, federations, academy chains, clusters or Local Authorities.

our school leaders are amongst the best in the world, yet we are slipping behind some countries in international rankings.

“After 20 years in the profession I had forgotten why I became a teacher. This visit reminded me of why I think it’s the most important job in the world. Thank you.”

Supporting education development and improvement overseasWe are also building our international profile by applying our expertise to education development and improvement projects in other countries. For example, we successfully bid to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of education development projects in Jamaica.

2525 Years of Inspiring Success

“HTI’s ability to broker senior business leader meetings for me was excellent. They helped me to step back and apply business models to scaling up the Outwood Grange vision. The entire community will benefit.” Michael Wilkins, Chief Executive & Academy Principal, Outwood Grange Academies Trust

“As an entrepreneur, I know that it is vital to learn how to deal and live with risk, learn from mistakes and failure. I feel sorry for kids growing up in a cotton wool culture. And I feel sorry for teachers. Children who are exposed to managed risk benefit in terms of

their education, their employability and as better members of society.” Simon Woodroffe, founder of the Yotel Hotel brand

“go4it is about the bigger picture and that’s what our country lacks. Employers are saying young people don’t have the work

ethic and lack imagination and Go4it encourages all of that.”Jonathan Weeden, Deputy Head, Carter’s Primary, Lancashire

“Go4it has had an amazing impact on the quality of our provision and on the attitudes of the whole school

community. We believe that the Go4it philosophy has helped us to raise our children’s achievements. Our key stage 2 SATs results for 2010 were above the national average and our best results in 10 years.” Johnette Barrett, Headteacher, Sellincourt Primary, Wandsworth

“Our future economic success – nationally and in the global arena – depends on creative, enterprising and highly-skilled risk takers. These are the qualities which business seeks and schools should be nurturing in young people. I welcome HTI’s work in bringing together leaders

of business and education to ensure that the UK develops the best possible attitudes and skills for

our future employees.” Gordon Brown, former Prime Minister

“It’s difficult to overstate HTI’s achievements over the past 25 years. It has stayed true to its root concept of

partnership between education and business – a very tough call 25 years ago – and stood the test of time. Thousands of

school and business leaders now benefit from these partnerships without fully realising what a debt of gratitude they owe to HTI.”

Baroness Morris of Yardley, former Education Secretary

“By working with 21,200 school leaders over 25 years, HTI has potentially impacted on 9,500,000 young people, a wide-reaching contribution to our education system. What is most important about the vision of HTI is that it remains as relevant today as it was in 1986. Developing school leadership is fundamental to our drive to improve standards and the contribution of HTI will be valuable in achieving this aim. I wish you all well for the next 25 years!” rt hon michael gove mP, secretary of state

“That it has continued for twenty-five years is testimony to HTI’s inherent ability to adapt to meet the needs of those working in both sectors.”

Dr Roy Millington, founding father of HTI

“One of the recurring themes about business secondments is the incredible boost to teachers’ personal confidence and their professional development.”

Lord Puttnam at a BITC conference in February 2001

“It was the best year of my life. I learned so much. My mentor, a great bloke, said at the end that I’d made the transition from education into industry

really easily, but he doubted whether his leaders could make the transition into leadership in schools.

That’s very good for your self-esteem isn’t it?” Annette France, Headteacher, Chipping Campden School on her secondment to National Grid

“Breaking down the barriers between education and business, building shared understanding, helping

teachers to equip young people for life after school are at the heart of what HTI does.”

Sir Digby Jones, Director General, Confederation of British Industry

“business cannot solve all the big challenges education currently faces, but it can help to make a difference. HTI strives to act as both a catalyst

and a conduit within this overall ambition.” Sir John Bond, Chairman, HSBC Group and former President of HTI

“business has an interest and a responsibility both to shape employment policies in a

constructive way, and to engage directly in the process of helping young people into the world of

work. HTI can help businesses to do just this.” Richard Lambert, Director General, CBI

“UK’s prosperity depends on our business success. That success is dependent on raising our skills level and applying those abilities to business situations. Therefore

business and education working closely together - and HTI’s role as independent broker in facilitating

this - is fundamental to the UK.” Miles Templeman, Director General, IoD

“I welcome the opportunity to influence policy, opinion and education reform through HTI’s Strategic Forum. We need to make science, engineering

and technology skills an educational priority and a profession of choice for young people.”

inspirational leaders develop inspiring teachers who inspire their students | inspirational leaders develop inspiring teachers who inspire their students | inspirational leaders develop inspiring teachers who inspire their students | inspirational leaders develop inspiring teachers who inspire their studentsFor 25 years, through three governments,

changing political agendas

and economic turbulence,

we have retained an

unstinting focus to inspire

and improve the life chances

of young people.

Everything we do is about improving the life chances of young people.

Every young person should be inspired by an education which speaks to their interests, talents and aspirations and develops the courage, tenacity and skills to pursue them.

No child should be written off, left to fail or overlooked.

Our student development programmes help young people to believe in their potential teachers to teach more innovatively and leaders to transform cultures and attainment.

HTI ‘Ground force team’ transforms Oak Cottage Primary School garden and play areas

Growing numbers of schools recognise that learning can take place in all sorts of settings beyond the classroom.

School grounds are an excellent starting point, but many schools do not have the resources or time to transform them from playtime to learning spaces. Our Greener Communities scheme makes this possible by importing volunteers from local businesses to create vibrant, safe outdoor learning environments.

For the 4th consecutive year our staff devoted an entire team-building day in June to giving Solihull’s Oak Cottage Primary School a complete Greener Communities makeover. The transformation included creating an environmental area with bird nesting boxes, bird tables and mini beast houses. Young members of the new weekly ‘gardening club’ will also be growing plants and vegetables in the new raised beds.

“i’m overwhelmed... I love the little arbour; I love the fact the little creatures can now swim in the pond because it was so clogged up and I love all the little toadstool seats everywhere... it’s just brilliant. Thank you!” Karen O’Keefe, Headteacher

“”HTI | www.hti.org.uk 33hti | review of twenty eleven32

Why inspire?

• More than 1,000,000 16-24 year olds are classified as NEET

• School leavers with no qualifications are the most at risk of dropping out of education and work

• 5% of long-term NEET young people are reported to die within a decade of falling out of the system.

Why ?

• Significant improvements in scores for behaviour, motivation, punctuality and homework

• Significant reduction in disruptive behaviour, referrals and exclusions

• Marked improvement in academic attainment.

Who inspired?

• 22 young mentors (sixth form students, undergraduates, apprentices and other local community members), inspired...

• 31 disengaged young people, at...• 6 schools, over...• 10 one hour sessions.

“they aren’t probleM kids; they Just have a lot to deal with”

every child can achieve, given the right support. Without it, some children –

particularly those ‘with a lot to deal with’ – can become the disruptive influence;

the underachiever; the disengaged. Ultimately, they can drop out of education,

employment and training altogether.

Often, just having the opportunity to talk problems through with someone who

understands can help.

this year, with the generous support of HTI patron Tim Melville-Ross, we have conducted a small-scale pilot of our new

peer mentoring programme, Inspire.

Inspire matches students who are underachieving because of poor behaviour, attitude, motivation and confidence with young people who have overcome

similar challenges to fulfil their aspirations.The results have been remarkable, prompting one

teacher to comment that the impact had been

“worth a million pounds”.

Drawing on their own experiences and showing friendship and empathy, the mentors established enough trust and rapport over just ten hours to achieve a significant impact...

…on menteesWorking towards targets and achieving ‘small successes’ has built up self-esteem, confidence, aspiration and the realisation that taking responsibility for their learning could help them to take control of their future.

…on mentorsThe opportunity to give something back and see they were making a difference to a young person’s life also increased mentors’ confidence, self-belief and aspirations. They developed their communication, negotiating and problem-solving skills, as well as learning tolerance, patience and the difference between behaviour and the person.

…on schoolsAll schools reported marked improvements in behaviour, attitude and motivation. Referrals were reduced – dramatically in some instances – and there were no exclusions.

… on teachersTeachers were better able to focus on teaching, rather than managing disruptive behaviour, to the benefit of the whole class.

What next for Inspire? The Inspire model works, but we have looked at how we can differentiate it from other mentoring schemes and take it to thousands of young people, rather than tens. We believe there is huge potential for Inspire as an extension to the government’s national apprenticeship programme.

• Young apprentices and disengaged youngsters are likely to find common ground

• An association with apprenticeships resonates with our focus on employability and skills

• There are 85,000 employers offering apprenticeships across 130,000 locations.

We would like to see every young apprentice working as an Inspire mentor and are working towards this aspiration in partnership with our powerful network across education, business and government.

“These young pupils may come from homes where there is no ambition, no forward-looking goals, problems with authority and apathy towards the child’s education. It takes time to build trust and rapport, but both are better achieved through contact with young role models with whom these children can identify, rather than a stream of people from external agencies.”

INSPIREHTI’S PEER MENTORING SCHEME

Go4it, HTI’s award for schools which dare to do things differently, inspirationally and with a sense of adventure, has had a record-breaking year - and the impact is spreading...

• A record number of schools - 51 - celebrated Go4it status in our 25th anniversary year, at not one, but two award ceremonies.

• A record number of primary schools collected Go4it awards.• We presented the first Go4it partnership award to 13 schools in Winsford,

Cheshire.• The appeal of Go4it is extending beyond schools to a broader range of educational

institutions like Hospital Outreach Education in Northampton and Coventry Performing Arts Service.

• Tangible evidence is emerging of the transformational impact of Go4it on school ethos and attainment.

• We signed up our first Further Education college – Southgate in Enfield – part of phase 3 of the Enfield Education Business Partnership Go4it collaboration.

Inspirational Go4it schools

• Students at Oaklands Special School treated guests to a preview of their programme for the Bangor International Choral Festival. They then went on to achieve joint first place in their category and performed alongside top international choirs at the Gala Festival Concert.

• wandsworth children have created their own micro-society in the classroom, setting up all the organisations required for it to function, from government, civil service and a legal system to businesses and an economy.

• children in ledbury ran their own market stall in Ledbury market, working with local artists to create and sell arts and crafts and developing their customer relationship skills in the process.

• Cockshut Hill Technology College helped to create an 80ft mural in the local shopping centre as part of a graffiti-reducing community initiative.

“we believe that the go4it philosophy has helped us to raise our children’s achievements. Our key stage 2 SATs results for 2010 were above the national average and our best results in 10 years.”Johnette Barrett, Headteacher, Sellincourt Primary School

“Go4it gets a big thumbs-up from me as one of the best initiatives out there for students. I have got where I am today by taking educated risks,

pushing the boundaries, and i’m a firm believer that young people need

to have the confidence to do the same! Life starts when you’re on the

edge of your comfort zone and we need to encourage our younger

generation to believe in themselves and see everything

as an opportunity.” Claire Young, Businesswoman,

motivational speaker and finalist in BBC 1’s hit show The Apprentice

“‘What attracted Southgate to Go4it was the opportunity it gives for institutions to gain recognition for fostering a creative, innovative and businesslike atmosphere, where qualifications are not the only aim for our learners.”Val Naylor, Director of Community Cohesion and Safeguarding, Southgate College

“Go4it not only offered accreditation for the work we were already doing, but also gave us the licence to take more risks with the range of activities we offer.”Charlie Brown, Hospital and Outreach Education Coordinator

Before Go4it...

Go4it boosts school improvement and attainment

There can be few things more demoralising than being publicly labelled the worst school in the UK.

But deputy head Joel Marshall had already used Go4it to transform his previous school and was pinning his hopes on it achieving a similar transformation at St Mary’s Primary School in Kidderminster.

• The school was in special measures and had made the headlines as ‘one of the worst schools in the country’

• Only 7% of Year 6 pupils achieved national expectations

• 75% of parents were unemployed, many of them long-term

• Pupils had high levels of special needs• Mobility rates were high• Behaviour was poor; permanent exclusion

rates were high• There were low standards of teaching attainment

and progress, matched by low staff morale• Leadership was failing .

• The school rocketed out of special measures; attainment levels have soared to 64% - 71% in Maths

• The senior leadership team used Go4it as a ‘licence’ to take risks; they rewrote the curriculum and employed the best teachers despite financial constraints

• Quality of teaching is now no less than good and outstanding in many instances

• ‘Do Something Different’, which gives children activities which develop employability skills, has galvanised the whole community behind the school.

• Children are more confident, resilient, motivated, responsible and better behaved; the benefits ripple out to harder-to-reach children

• The school has been shortlisted for the 2011 TES Outstanding Senior Leadership Team Award.

... and after Go4it

“When I told colleagues about my new job there was usually a sharp intake of breath, but having used Go4it in my previous school I knew you don’t get anywhere without taking a risk.”

“Now other schools come to us to share our expertise. Without Go4it St Mary’s would never have emerged out of special measures as it did.”

Strategies for boosting attainment

In partnership with internationally recognised authority Geoff Hannan, HTI has added three new programmes to its student development portfolio designed to boost student attainment, regardless of background, ability or gender.

Geoff’s system has been developed over many years to impact quickly and effectively in improving teaching and learning. During a number of sell-out sessions, he took middle leaders through a range of teaching and learning strategies that help deliver outstanding performance, linking them to the development needs of the participants’ own departments and a system for performance evaluation and monitoring.

it was so good that we tried to book Geoff for our next INSET day. Unfortunately he was already booked! Jo Slough, Headteacher, St Alphege CE Federation“”


We have spent 25 years developing our vast network across education, business and government.

Our network is what makes HTI unique. It gives us a uniquely broad perspective on education challenges and a uniquely powerful resource for influencing change, sharing ideas, shaping solutions and spreading best practice.

Is education killing creativity?

HTI’s 25th anniversary celebrations got off to a thought-provoking start when international creativity guru and HTI patron Sir Ken Robinson gave a rousing polemic to 150 education leaders on how the education system is stifling young people’s creative impulses and potential.

“When people get to discover things they enjoy and love to do, they tend to get better at everything because their confidence rises with it,” he said.

A group of youngsters from the Sheffield Academy of Young Leaders in Sport, introduced by Professor Mick Waters, proved the power of allowing young people to shine in their own realm of talent. As well as expertly facilitating group discussions after Sir Ken’s talk, they explained how the Academy had helped them to become more confident, mature and develop their communication skills.

Headteacher Ann Battersby and her pupils from North Kidlington School put their creative skills to the test when they created a magnificent replica plane with Tim Godwin from Thrift.

the htinetwork


“UK’s prosperity depends on our business success. That success is dependent on raising our skills level and applying those abilities to business situations. Therefore business and education working closely together - and HTI’s role as independent broker in facilitating this - is fundamental to the UK.”Miles Templeman

“HTI brings together key players from education, policy and business to have frank and

informative discussions about what works, what doesn’t work and how to make things better for the benefit of

our young people. As the new national body dedicated to championing young people’s learning, we’re delighted

to be a key partner with HTI.”Rob Wye

“Success demands the role that HTI plays in bringing education and employers together, both to ensure employers offer apprenticeships and other employment for young people, and also to ensure that young people in school and college are given the necessary exposure to, and knowledge of, employment.”Ian Ferguson

“i’m delighted you’ve chosen to celebrate your silver anniversary year by promoting the importance of raising aspiration among teachers and young people. One of the things I admire so much about HTI is a willingness to grasp the nettle when it comes to difficult subjects.”

Tim Loughton MP

“business has an interest and a responsibility both to shape employment policies in a constructive way and to engage directly in the process of helping young people into the world of work. HTI can help businesses to do just this.”Richard Lambert

“An important factor in creating the right climate for high-level debate at our Strategic

Forum dinners is the wonderfully generous hospitality provided by our hosts. It adds to

impact, quality and exclusivity, which are so vital to attracting the leaders who can really make culture change in education happen.”

anne evans .Chief Executive, HTI .

“”

how business sees our role

“My own life experience showed me... it is never possible to know which kids are going to make it and which are not going to make it, so it is necessary to invest in all of the children.”Sir William Atkinson, Executive Headteacher,Phoenix Canberra Schools Federation

“The more I see schools up and down the country, the

more I believe that all students should have an element

of vocational education in their curriculum...”

Christine Gilbert, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Ofsted

“”In America kids are born believing they will succeed; in the UK this has to be taught. Everyone should back the teachers that inspire our kids to say ‘what now?’ rather than ‘whatever’?” Simon Woodroffe, founder of the Yotel Hotel brand

“(Young people) do need to have that bit extra in terms

of things like discipline and respect, and also sacrifice...

no one is going to come to your door and give you

anything for free.”Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United Manager

“....Dance, music, theatre reside in everybody. Children love to create plays, dramas, stories, to paint – and yet schools don’t encourage [their] formation.” dr anthony seldon, master of wellington college

Lessons for Life from Britain’s top leaders

No matter what our experience of education, most of us can remember at least one teacher who inspired us.

This was certainly true of the 25 education leaders and 25 leaders from business and the public sector interviewed for a new book to mark our 25th anniversary.

Lessons for Life, written by former government adviser Conor Ryan, asked the 50 leaders what they believe young people need from schools, how their own school experience affected these beliefs and how leaders across the sectors can help to make education a more relevant, inspiring experience.

The interviewees, who included Michael Gove and three former Education Secretaries, singled out aspiration as the key ingredient to school-leavers’ success. They confirmed that no matter how much the world might change, an inspirational teacher can bethe determining influence on a young person’s life.

There was a lot of consensus amongst interviewees on key themes such as...• The qualities of inspirational leaders and teachers• The value of business links• The need for schools to develop ‘skills for life’

– but how should they be taught?• The importance of literacy, communication and

numeracy and the right curriculum choice.

There were also inevitable differences of opinion, but one thing was clear: everyone has strong views on education, because education matters hugely to the individual, communities, business and the economy.
