Key Voices

“You know your schools incredibly well, the sector incredibly well, and your pupils incredibly well. Take confidence in the decisions you are making, and the autonomy you have to do what you think is best for your school.” This week we speak to Stephen Morales, CEO of the Institute of School Business Leadership (ISBL), Russell Dalton, COO Diocese of Worcester Multi Academy Trust and Kaley Foran, Lead Content Editor at The Key. We discuss how schools have coped with the practicalities of reopening to more pupils following an easing of lockdown measures, and potential ways forward to make sure more children can safely return to school. We consider the ways in which the government could work more closely with the sector and speculate on what their plans for summer catch-up could be. We also discuss ways school business professionals can best prepare for what September might bring.  This podcast was recorded on 16 June 2020.
