About The Blog

I have felt, for a while now, compelled to write my musings around my educational passion: 16-19 education. In our current knowledge and research-rich education sector, there appears to be very little literature specifically focusing on 16-19 leadership. I am an advocate for the sixth form phase and believe it to be the most exciting phase of secondary education. I hope that, in sharing my thoughts, I might ignite something in middle leaders that allows them to consider a move to sixth form leadership.  These thoughts are entirely my own and I do not profess to be an expert; I merely want to open up a conversation about sixth form leadership so that those wishing to become involved in it can do so ‘with their eyes open’.  Hence the name: 'The Sixth Form Slant' - it's my slant on all things 16-19.  The step up to sixth form leadership can be taken from any middle leadership position: whether department, faculty or pastoral leadership is your experience, all of it will serve you well in the multi-faceted field of sixth form leadership.

I'm just starting out, in the busiest time of my career, so bear with me if my posts are rather infrequent for now!
