Dear Reader,
Welcome to the latest issue of Education Today. With the pressure on school finances continuing to dominate the headlines, this month in our Feature Focus we look at ways in which you can boost your school funds, firstly by choosing the right financing packages with advice from Lindsay Screen of Wesleyan Bank, and secondly, by taking advantage of the internet and the shopping power of the people who make up your school community, in the company of Chris Cottam of UK charity School Angel UK. And as we are now approaching the (whisper it) “Festive season”, we also have a double bill of features looking at music and the performing arts in schools, just to get you in the mood.
We have our regular contributors as always offering insight and advice, as well as a great roster of commenters as usual sharing their thoughts on the world of education. We continue our section on UK education writers, “From the pen of…”, this month featuring respected educationalist Fiona Carnie. We continue our section on recruitment with some great jobs for you this month, so if you’re looking for a new role, or wish to advertise a vacancy, do make sure you get in touch. Remember, you can get in touch with us via Twitter @EdTodayMag, Facebook and our homepage, as well as by phone or email. We love hearing from you!!
Enjoy the issue! Jonathan Swift - Managing Editor
