Leadership Conference 'Better Together'
Wolverhampton School Improvement Partnership
Leadership Conference ‘Better Together’ Tuesday June 9th 2015 Biographies Sir John Jones One of the world’s most popular speakers on change, Sir John is one of a small, select band of educational professionals who have not only had their achievements recognised in the New Year’s Honours List (2003), but have been able to help and inspire others with their knowledge and passion. When Headteacher of three secondary schools over a period of 17 years, he was asked to join the Government’s Policy Action Team for Neighbourhood Renewal at the Social Exclusion Unit. He was also a member of the Headteachers’ National Focus Group on Truancy and Exclusion and the Excellence in Cities Project at the DfES. Working parttime at the Centre for Educational Leadership at Manchester University, he presented on a range of programmes as well as designing and delivering a Master’s Course at Liverpool University focused on the leadership of change. Sir John has written two books; ‘Truancy and exclusion: a teacher’s guide’ and the best-selling ‘The Magic-Weaving Business’ and has co-authored ‘Winning the H Factor: the secrets of happy schools’. As well as education, he has a passion for keeping fit, the theatre and golf
Professor Ken Reid OBE Professor Reid is the author of numerous books on education, research reports and approximately 250 articles in academic journals in the field of truancy and school absenteeism, disaffection, troubled pupils, bullying, exclusion, out of school provision, school effectiveness, special educational needs, behaviour management and school management. He is a regular trainer for schools, Local Authorities and other organisations. He was the chair of the Welsh Assembly Government National Review into Behaviour and Attendance (NBAR). He is a regular correspondent for the Times Education Supplement, Education Journal and other periodicals and appears regularly on national and local radio and television programmes.
Steve Daley The son of a retired miner from South Yorkshire, Steve Daley followed his dream to become a Professional Footballer. At age 15 Steve was spotted by a chief scout from Wolverhampton Wanderers FC whilst playing Sunday morning football and invited to move to Wolverhampton leaving his family in Yorkshire. This proved to be the start of a successful playing career resulting in a ‘roller coaster’ of highs and lows: Britain’s ‘First 1.5 Million Pound Record Transfer’ was followed shortly by headlines ‘The One Million Pound Misfit’ and ‘White Elephant Man’ of the footballing world! Hard work, determination and self- belief enabled Steve to get his career back on track. A truly Motivational and Inspirational journey.
