Putting the Success into Succession Planning

Sarah Beaumont BA (Hons) FRSA, Head of Governor Services at The Education Space, focuses on the importance of succession planning.

THE EDUCATION SPACE - NEWSLETTER - NEWS

The scene is set: the election of chair is the next item on the agenda, the governance professional takes the floor to invite nominations, everyone looks down at their shoes, nobody stands. Invariably, the out-going chair reluctantly stands again, murmuring: “But this is for the last time!” The autumn term finds governing and trust boards electing, reelecting, or searching for a Chair and, in my professional view, it is a little too late to find out only now that you don’t have a likely candidate.

(SAT), the responsible body is the trust, but its constitution is often modelled on that of a governing board and is often so called. In a multi-academy trust (MAT), the role has been split with overall responsibility residing with the trust, but with some delegation to local governing boards. These local boards, more recently, are being described as local governing committees to avoid any confusion regarding where the decisionmaking power lies.

Nevertheless, all these bodies share much in common, not least Acting as the governance in their structure. When it comes professional in such circumstances, to managing the responsible body there is only so much my team can and ensuring smooth succession provide at short notice: we can offer from one chair to the next, the support to anyone thinking of taking principles to be followed are much on the role, stage one-to-one training the same, irrespective of the level of over a coffee at Francis House, find a governance. mentor who is an experienced chair to sound off and guide.

In response to a potential longterm shortage of headteachers the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) encouraged schools to become more proactive in growing the next generation of leaders. They did this in several ways: by expanding opportunities – providing more openings for teachers to practise leadership skills; by widening the talent pool - including encouraging more women and minorities to take on leadership roles; by ‘talent spotting’ – actively identifying and encouraging leadership talent within the school; by leading beyond the school – encouraging opportunities in other schools and industries for leadership practice; and by promoting new models of leadership – federation, co-headship and executive headship.

ISSUE 52 - PREPARING CHILDREN FOR A WORLD THAT DOESN’T YET EXIST

These strategies are equally applicable at board level. Effective leadership of the board involves working towards a shared vision for school improvement, which all governors help to achieve, and working together to share responsibility and workload. According to the Department for Education’s ‘A Competency Framework for Governance’, everyone on the board must think strategically and work as a team for its leadership of the school to be robust. Good leadership entails the adoption of effective working practices that enable everyone to participate and develop leadership skills. ‘Succession Breeds Success’, a publication produced by the National

Co-ordinators of Governor Services (NCOGS) sets out succession planning as a journey. This journey begins by attracting and retaining good governors and trustees. Effective recruitment strategies may include strong engagement with parents, carers, and forged relationships with community and business links. Conducting a skills audit of the current board may also help to identify skills gaps and requirements. This journey then moves to the development of the new governor. Sound induction should be provided initially from the school and then more formally from your governor training provider to set out the role. When I lead induction training, I always say that every governor and trustee should use their experience of governance as an opportunity to personally develop themselves. And effective succession planning on the board can make life so much more fulfilling if it opens up a range of opportunities for this personal development. The journey then moves to encouraging new governors and trustees to take on additional responsibility: joining a committee, linking with a school development plan priority, joining a working party, leading on an agenda item, taking on a specific area of specialism. The next step on the journey is then to grow a team leader: chairing a

committee, leading a working party, linking with an area of focus within the school, visiting the subject coordinator and then reporting back. The next step is to ensure the effectiveness of the Chair of the board, through a clear understanding of the role, good delegation, development of the board, sound partnership working with the Head or Principal through regular meetings to provide appropriate challenge and support, operating as first among equals. In recent years, co-chairing has become more common, and is an effective form of leadership when the responsibilities of each are clearly understood. Finally, there is a maturity in knowing when to give up and step aside. Some Boards have a set term for Chair, which does not exceed two terms (eight years). To gain new blood and a fresh approach from the Chair of the Board is a healthy thing. It shows that the board is effective in its succession planning, and that individuals are being developed to be the leaders of tomorrow. Isn’t that what schools as organisations are all about anyway?

Youth Summits As part of the programme Big Ideas host termly Youth Summits focused on themes which bring young people across the city together. The summits feature guest speakers, a platform youth voice, and social action challenges for the classroom. The last summit, which took place on the 1st October, kicked off Black History Month by looking at the theme of Racial Justice. Over 2,700 young people - including Newham schools - took part in the digital event. Watch the highlights video here. The Year 6 students from Earlham Primary School in Newham attended, and a student from the school was selected to ask a live question to Debbie WeekesBernard, Deputy Mayor and London Lead for Communities and Social Justice. The students will now take part in a social action challenge of their own, addressing the topic of racial justice in their school or London as a whole.

YEARS 5-8 CONTINUITY NEWHAM

Work Groups in this project aim to strengthen the transition from primary to secondary school by focusing on curriculum and pedagogical continuity over Years 5 to 8. Following the disruption to education caused by the Covid crisis, this transition is more crucial than ever. Central to the Work Group is the promotion of cross phase communication between teachers to address issues of maths curriculum and pedagogical transition as distinct from pastoral considerations. A key feature will be understanding how best to prioritise key aspects of the curriculum to help ensure pupils have mastered the fundamental understanding and skills they need to underpin their progression through upper KS2 and into KS3.

What is involved?

Local Work Group design will follow a workshop – school-based work cycle, consisting of several workshops followed in each case by specific school-based work. A lesson study approach is encouraged where all participants focus on a particular aspect of the maths curriculum and work collaboratively to develop this in their schools. Cross-phase classroom observation and discussion of practice is encouraged wherever possible. Consideration of the primary maths Ready-to-Progress criteria and the NCETM Checkpoints activities will be a common feature of all Work Groups. Participants are expected to consider ways to develop the approaches explored during the project with other staff in their schools.
