In schools departments often operate as silos
“Rightness is what matters in vertical thinking. Richness is what matters in lateral thinking.” (Edward de Bono)

Final Remarks• Culture trumps strategy – so create a culture of authentic collaboration to
drive your school improvement strategies.
• Middle leaders are the engine room for change. They connect with department staff and report to senior leaders and are therefore at the heart of improving student outcomes.
• Treating all as leaders and empower them to see school improvement from a broad lens results in greater ownership of the whole school improvement agenda.
• Data for data sack is pointless. Data collection and aggregation needs to be aligned with a clear purpose and reported on cyclically, to create motivation and drive towards improved student outcomes.
