“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” – Edward Everett Hale
This week, I have been at the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) Conference in Newport, Wales. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet Heads of similar schools, and share thoughts and views of the imminent changes to our sector and new initiatives and successes.
I attended some inspiring workshops, including The Future of Education in a World of Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, Empowering Every Child by Integrating Wellbeing Practices into Everyday Education, and Unleashing the Potential of Introverted Children. There was also a lively debate on what the next 5 years will look like for the Independent Education Sector, with expert politicians and political commentators Ed Dorrell, Lord David Hacking and Alex Chalk.
A very informative and worthwhile couple days, but I am looking forward to being back at school next week.
In my absence, we learnt that we have been successful in being awarded Microsoft Showcase Status. A huge congratulations, thank you, and well done to Mrs Blithe, Mr Rodd, and the whole staff team for this fantastic achievement.
I hope to see many of you tomorrow at our Dog Show “Paws for a Cause.”
Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend,
Simone
