Outstanding Middle Leadership JAWS Neil Tamlyn, Assistant Vice Principal (Academic), North London Collegiate School (Jeju) With a healthy mix of Junior School, Senior School, External and Internal delegates, the Middle Leadership Jaws at NLCS Jeju was well-set to draw on a broad range of leadership skills and experiences.

Over twenty teachers attended the programme that included themes such as • Goal-setting, • The importance of reflection • Establishing robust systems and processes.

The quality of the discussions was exceptional and the delegates and session leaders made the most of the opportunity to share knowledge and experiences with colleagues from different schools.

Participants commented positively on the value of such a focused, collaborative event and that this was offered for the ‘FOBISIA price’ made it all the more attractive and sustainable as a model.

Of course, authentic Korean barbecue and fabulous Jeju autumn weather all contributed to the excellent atmosphere throughout and NLCS Jeju very much look forward to hosting further FOBISIA events.

Exploring the Challenges of Senior Leadership JAWS Aidan Edmanson, Deputy Head of Secondary, The British School of Kuala Lumpur In late November 2019, The British School of Kuala Lumpur and Sri KDU hosted the first ‘Challenges of Senior Leadership JAWS’. Led

by Andrew Wyeth (Head of Secondary, Sri KDU) and Aidan Edmanson (Deputy Head of Secondary, BSKL), the event was attended by thirty delegates from Malaysia and other locations around South East Asia, including China and Hong Kong.

Over the two day programme, the participants were tasked with exploring a number of areas.

Day one primarily focused on the challenges of leading the self and others, exploring varied leadership approaches, the importance of emotional intelligence, our fundamental educational beliefs and how we can develop ourselves as leaders, yet also how we can draw on this knowledge to support us in both dealing with challenging situations and in building leadership capacity.

Furthermore, Day two concentrated on leading towards a vision and examined the importance of the ‘why’ in vision formulation, the role played by individual perception, and various strategic models and change theories. Like most JAWS events, the success of the event relied prominently on those who chose to attend.

Delegates volunteered to lead a number of workshop sessions including managing turnover in international schools, creating high performing teams and analysing the challenges of moving from a middle leader to a senior leader position.

CPD Digest

We would like to thank everyone for their fantastic efforts in sharing their practice and expertise.

The two days culminated in a group exercise where teams were placed in a scenario as the brand new whole school leadership team of an international school. Based on the school’s recent inspection report they were tasked with presenting a detailed action plan to their organisation’s board of governance, outlining their key priorities for the next three to five years. The task allowed delegates to draw on, and apply, a number of concepts from the two day programme and it was great to observe the level of care, organisation and experience on display.

Likewise, this led to a great deal of healthy challenge and debate.

Unfortunately, we do not always have the opportunity to step away from the busy nature of our own professional contexts and reflect on, and challenge ourselves, in terms of our own behaviour and performance as leaders.

Ultimately, this, as well as a chance to network and share practice, is what makes opportunities such as this, so extremely valuable. Finally, we were delighted with the number of leaders in attendance, the general outcome and we would like to thank everyone involved for their positive approach to the two day programme and would hope to run a similar JAWS next academic year.
