In this first episode of the Enterprising Schools Podcast Leadership Series, four school leaders explore the importance of building a strong school brand, communicating commercial strategy effectively and ensuring commercial activity is aligned with the wider aims and values of the school.
Alastair Land, Head Master, Harrow School; Guy Collins-Down, COO, Alleyn’s School; Robert Garnish, COO, Morrison’s Academy; and Luke Ramsden, Headteacher, St John’s College, Cardiff, share their perspectives on the role leadership plays in creating the right culture for commercial activity to thrive – and why bringing colleagues with you is critical to making it work.
The Leadership Podcast Series brings together members of the SEA’s Leadership Advisory Group to explore how schools are embedding commercial activity in support of a more sustainable model for education. The Group is chaired by Leanne Chandler, Director of Operations at Denstone College and immediate past Chair of the SEA, who co-hosts the series. Alongside the thematic Leadership Series episodes, you can also hear the full ‘long-listen’ interviews with each contributor wherever you get your podcasts.
The Leadership Series is sponsored by S&C Slatter, who combine professional services expertise with proven construction experience to help schools create outstanding sports facilities and appealing outdoor spaces that enhance the school experience, support holiday programmes, drive community bookings and deliver long-lasting value.
