Over 40 Southwark headteachers now meet regularly with senior executives from the business world to share ideas and learn from each other's experience.
Our headteacher mentoring scheme has so far linked schools to major local companies including Shell International, KPMG, Abbey National, Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Sainsbury's.
For headteachers it's a chance to get a fresh, non-educational viewpoint on management issues facing the school. While business leaders benefit from a deeper understanding of education issues.

'Having a mentor gives you time and space to reflect, which is usually impossible in school because of all the day-to-day crisis points and new initiatives flooding in,'
- Irene Bishop, Headteacher of St Saviour's & St Olaves School.
'It's great to have time to sit and look at the issues facing the school from a completely new perspective.'
'This experience has been invaluable. John has been able to bring a different perspective and has asked questions that have enabled me to reflect in a way I might not have done otherwise.'
- Lesley Day, Headteacher, Harris Girls' Academy East Dulwich (née Waverley School), who was partnered with John Fedorowycz of Barclays Bank. |
