Dear Reader,
Welcome to the latest issue of Education Today. This month, in the long run up to the summer holidays, we focus on school maintenance and design, and also take a look at software designed to help you keep your schools running smoothly. In our first feature on maintenance and
design, we hear from Stuart Eatock, Managing Director at ECE Architecture, who explains the thinking behind his practice’s approach to good school design. In our second, Steve Aldridge, Managing Director at ACMS UK, industry experts in risk management and auditing, discusses the value of a digitalised risk management strategy in managing your school estate and mitigating associated risks. Meanwhile, in our software feature,
Emma Rolfe, Head of Software at Stone Group, looks at the importance of software licensing, and offers some pointers on how schools can best manage the process while keeping a tight rein on costs. Elsewhere in the magazine we hear from
author David Hughes, who explains how you can “Future Proof Your School”; Graham Cooper and Kirsty Bertenshaw are on hand as always with insight and advice; and in our ever-popular View from the classroom series we speak to Karl Duke, Headteacher at Blyton cum Laughton CE Primary School in Lincolnshire, who explains how the school’s “curriculum inspired by books” ensures that children have a wide range of experiences and every opportunity to become readers for pleasure. Remember, we love to hear from you,
you can get in touch with us via Twitter @EdTodayMag, Facebook and our homepage, as well as by phone or email. Good luck to all involved in exams this
month, and enjoy the issue! Jonathan Swift - Managing Editor
