We Are In Beta Podcast


Mar 10, 2019

In this episode of the We Are In Beta Podcast, Elroy Cahill, the newly appointed headteacher at Kingsley Academy in Hounslow, shares his thoughts on:

  • How one teacher transformed his view on education when he was going down the wrong road,
  • What he thinks would be a grave error in relation to the new Ofsted framework,
  • What Ofsted should do in circumstances of inappropriate off-rolling,
  • Why he thinks morally driven leadership is important,
  • Why is he thinks coaching is so important and where best to access it, often for free,
  • His initial scepticism about a pilot project that has been having a huge impact on teacher development
  • How to set up live lesson coaching effectively,
  • The one question he would ask every headteacher is he could,
  • How the worlds of Lego and Ofsted can collide,
  • How recent education documentaries could influence the electorate and shape the future of education.
