This Autumn, TIC’s Leadership newsletter focuses on great opportunities and great advice for senior leaders.
Following the success of our first virtual recruitment fair, we introduce our second virtual event: virtual networking with candidates who will be applying for jobs this year, to prepare your school in the best possible way for the forthcoming recruitment season. Look out for our Early Bird offer in this newsletter.
In addition, some of our Heads from across the globe reveal their advice on how to make the jump from Senior Leader to School Principal. TIC’s Managing Director, Andrew Wigford recommends the best strategies for leadership recruitment. And we speak to the Executive Principal of Oryx School in Qatar about his new role and plans to turn a small primary into a school of 2,300 students.
