on page 19 how Nicola Adams, headteacher at Clifton Green School in York, crafted the school’s partnership with York Racecourse to give pupils outstanding opportunities (and her a new fundraising mindset). On page 21, Vic Robertson tells us how alumni parents are the driving force behind Chiswick School’s car boot sales, which have been running since 1984. While some traditions endure, others are changing rapidly. When we learned that some grant funders now require video applications, we got in touch with Emma Bracegirdle, who helps charities craft compelling narratives through fi lm. On page 40, she shares her advice for making videos that tell your school’s story using just your smartphone.
I’ll be getting started once I delete the photographic
evidence of those double-scoop cones! Enjoy the term!
s we move back into the rhythm of the school year, it’s time to return to a more sensible routine and better habits – not easy for me
