Chairman’s welcome Welcome to London and the BSA Annual Conference for Heads 2015. We have not held our conference here for many years, making it special in itself, but the buzz of the city is even more palpable with election fever reaching its peak. The Park Plaza puts us in the heart of the action with Westminster only a short distance away. We are well placed for a walk along the Thames or a visit to one of many major attractions. Although we have a busy programme, I hope you all find time to enjoy the city.

The theme of this year’s Conference is ‘Challenge, Care and Confidence’. These three words encapsulate a successful education for me, but in particular a boarding education. The speakers have been chosen to bring the theme to life and I am sure their varied messages will resonate with you all. As is fitting in the year when we commemorate the centenary of the first year of the First World War, two speakers will consider the theme from a background in the services. The dinner at the Imperial War Museum, with an opportunity to see the new WWI Exhibition, will I am sure provide an unforgettable evening.

An important part of conference is talking to fellow Heads and there will be many opportunities to do this but supper in Tozi, the hotel restaurant on Tuesday night will provide the perfect venue. It has an excellent reputation enhanced by the Prosecco on tap! The associations will have a chance to meet and this year, as well as discussing matters raised by members, we would like you to consider some wider points pertinent to taking BSA forward.

I hope the Conference will offer you sufficient distance from the daily challenges at school. It is an ideal opportunity to listen to stimulating speakers, partake in refreshing debate, gather new ideas, and provide time to connect with colleagues from different sectors, across a range of member schools. BSA is unique in bringing so many different associations together which is hugely beneficial for us all.

We have been very fortunate to welcome so many sponsors and exhibitors this year helping us to make the Conference possible. They represent a wide range of educational services and I am sure there is something of interest to you all. We are very grateful to them for their support.

Finally, thank you for coming and enjoy the Conference.

Wendy Griffiths, BSA Chairman 2014 – 2015 Wendy Griffiths has been Headmistress at Tudor Hall since January 2004. She started her career in a small boarding school, which was her introduction to both boarding and the independent sector, and she was hooked on both immediately.

During her time at Tudor Hall she has overseen significant change, including the recent acquisition of a prep school. Her previous experience includes Director of Studies at St Catherine’s School, Bramley and Head of Sixth Form at Tormead School, Guildford.

His role has included expeditions to the North and South Poles and the organisation focuses on supporting the most vulnerable veterans.

Geoff McDonald, former Global Vice President of Human Resources at Unilever Geoff’s background in teaching, HR, marketing, communications and sustainability is considerable. During his 25 years with Unilever his experience has been truly global and has spanned leadership and talent development, organization change, capability development, with particular reference to marketing, and business transformation with purpose at its core. During this time he was responsible for graduate recruitment and development, talent, acquisitions and development across Unilever’s emerging markets. Under his leadership he developed Unilever’s global talent and leadership centre of expertise.

Tony Little, Head Master of Eton College Tony Little was educated at Eton and Cambridge, where he was a Choral Exhibitioner. He read Law for 36 hours before deciding to read novels instead.

With interests in literature, music, sport and drama, he slowly came to the conclusion that a schoolmaster’s life might offer a breadth of activity which would be stimulating and an involvement with young people which would be rewarding.

Following a PGCE at Homerton College, Cambridge, he was appointed to the staff at Tonbridge School where he taught English and ran a sixth form student boarding house.

After five years, he was appointed Head of English and Drama at Brentwood, then at the tail end of an era as a leading Direct Grant school of 800 pupils, moving towards independence. For Read more by downloading our conference app ‘BSA Conferences’ 9

five of his seven years at Brentwood he was also housemaster of a 13-18 boys’ boarding house. From Brentwood he was appointed Headmaster of Chigwell School, a 7-18 boys’ school with 650 pupils.

Some seven years later, he became Headmaster of Oakham, a fully co-educational school of 1,050 pupils aged 10-18, over half of whom were boarders drawn from the UK and overseas.

Developing links with industry and introducing the International Baccalaureate were particular features of that period. In September 2002, he took up his post as Head Master of Eton College, 30 years after leaving with sights set firmly on a life in anything but teaching. In September 2015 Tony will be the Honorary President for the BSA during its Golden Jubilee.

Shabana Basij-Rasikh Born and raised in Kabul, Shabana attending high school and college in the U.S. While still in college, Shabana co-founded SOLA - School of Leadership, Afghanistan, a nonprofit dedicated to giving young Afghans access to quality education abroad and jobs back home.

After graduating from Middlebury, she returned to Kabul to turn SOLA into the nation’s first boarding school for girls. SOLA provides college preparatory courses to students aged 11 to 19 representing all major ethnic groups, religious sects, and tribes. It also helps graduates enter universities worldwide and return to substantive careers in Afghanistan, where they often become the first women to enter their fields.

Simon Weston OBE Simon is an army veteran is well-known throughout the UK for his bravery in recovering from severe burns during the Falklands War as well as his charity work and campaigning on military causes.

Simon’s message is one of single-minded determination, to not only accept what is, but to turn that to your advantage.
