MEET OUR EXPERTS


PAUL ABER is Head of Training


Spring 2018 Having met some fascinating people at events last year, my mantra for this term is ‘network, network, network’! And much of the content we’ve packed into this issue is as a result of those chance meetings...


On p12, Paul Aber of the National Governance Association explains how to harness the support of your governing board when it comes to implementing innovative income- generation strategies for your school.


With energy costs forming a large portion of a school’s outgoings, Sam Moore shares his tips for cutting costs, reducing consumption and enhancing your school estate – turn to p17.


And we have some fabulous prizes to give away this issue, including a ‘Do You Love Me?’ sex and relationships workshop, worth £600 – see p56.

Good luck!
