Reflecting on our ethical leadership journey to date

Wisdom

Wisdom is defined as the ability to use your knowledge and experience to make good decisions and judgements. 

It’s been just over a month since WCC launched the Ethical Leadership Commission’s final report Navigating the Moral Maze at the headteachers' briefing in June. We were very fortunate to have Carolyn Roberts join us at this briefing to invite the WCC family of schools on this journey.

There has been a lot of interest and we have started to see how we can use the ethical leadership framework to address leadership dilemmas.

We have had The Coleshill showing how Warwickshire schools are taking the lead on this agenda. We have been in conversations with the DfE on how we might be able to liaise with them, using our coding project in finding solutions on how to deliver the Timpson Review recommendations on the back of our conversations with Nadhim Zahawi.

We are being used as a case study in Professors Harry Daniels from Oxford Universities’ research project on inclusion.

Last week, I was contacted by colleagues in Sandwell Local Authority who was advised to come over to meet with us in Warwickshire.

The news has got out “There is something exciting happening across Warwickshire and its family of schools.”

We wish you all a very restful summer and look forward to your return in September when we continue setting the ethical leadership example.
