Strengthening School Governance through Inclusive Recruitment

With nearly 50% of independent school pupils coming from ethnic minority backgrounds, why is this diversity not reflected at the governing board level? Johan Jensen and Leah Morris (Minority Ethnic Governors Network [https://www.linkedin.com/company/megn-minority-ethnic-governors-network/posts/?feedView=all]) join the podcast to challenge the sector to look deeper at school governance. We discuss the dangers of homogenous thinking in leadership, how to move past informal networks, and why inclusive governance is about raising standards. Whether you’re a current governor or a school leader, this episode provides the step-by-step tools needed to modernise your recruitment process. Discover practical advice on how to attract professional talent from wider backgrounds and ensure every voice at the table has the power to influence school strategy.

School Groups, The White Paper, and Specialist Provision

In this episode of Independently Speaking, Helen Stanton-Tonner is joined by Justin Spanswick (Chief Operating Officer, Inspired Learning Group [https://www.inspiredlearninggroup.co.uk]), Henrietta Jordan (Schools' Director, Melrose Education [https://melroseeducation.com]), and Hannah Lovegrove Campion (Head of SEND, ISA) to explore what the government's white paper, Putting Children and Young People First, means when viewed from the perspective of independent school groups. The discussion examines how reform lands not just at the individual school level, but across organisations responsible for strategy, staffing, and SEND provision at scale. Guests explore readiness for change across diverse settings, shifting referral patterns, the challenge of building specialist workforce capacity across multiple regions, and the critical role of local authority relationships in making the new framework work in practice.
