CONTENTS Dear Reader,
Welcome to the latest issue of Education Today. In the magazine this month we open with a double header of features looking
at intelligent classroom design. In our first we hear from Tony Huggins, Managing Director at David Bailey Furniture, on the promise of intelligent design in education, where the very physical environment fosters knowledge and growth, while in our second Dawn Scott, Senior Colour Designer at Dulux Trade, explores the use of colour in schools to support special educational needs and disability (SEND) students. Our third feature this month is a look at parental engagement in the company of Sarah Rowe, former school business manager and account manager at ParentPay and Schoolcomms, who shares her perspective on how to get the most out of your school’s communications with parents. We round out the features with a look back at January’s Bett Show.
Elsewhere in the magazine we have all our usual contributors offering insight and opinion, and our regular View from the classroom piece, this month featuring Kelly Messik, Assistant Headteacher at St Margaret’s School in Herts, who discusses the benefits of cross-school partnerships and offers advice on setting these up in practice. Remember, we love to hear from you, you can get in touch with us via Twitter @ EdTodayMag, as well as by phone or email.
