'The Best School of All'
Clifton's history has been written, but this is a stunning visual portrayal of the College and examines its story through a blend of informative text and resonant images. It shows how Clifton has always been uniquely different from the familiar template of the Victorian public school.This new publication is a documented celebration of the Clifton story and the experience of generations of Cliftonians over a century and a half. The book includes over 150 images in colour and black and white. "This beautiful and superbly illustrated publication was written to mark 150 years of one of England's leading public schools. ... It is essential reading for anybody interested in the development of a great public school" Common Ground, Summer 2010. General Editor: Cheryl Trafford
Traces of Vermeer
Johannes Vermeer's luminous paintings are loved and admired around the world, yet we do not understand how they were made. We see sunlit spaces; the glimmer of satin, silver, and linen; we see the softness of a hand on a lute string or letter. We recognize the distilled impression of a moment of time; and we feel it to be real. We might hope for some answers from the experts, but they are confounded too. Even with the modern technology available, they do not know why there is no evidence of any preliminary drawing; why there are shifts in focus; and why his pictures are unusually blurred. Some wonder if he might possibly have used a camera obscura to capture what he saw before him. The few t...
How to Lead a School
Targeted primarily at those running a school, or contemplating doing so, this book talks frankly about the pleasures and pitfalls of the job, common to all schools across the world. Each chapter considers in detail the different constituencies a Principal or Head will encounter. The book endorses good practice, highlights some tricks of the trade, asks questions to provoke thinking, and includes imaginary case studies. Covid-19 may have disrupted conventional ways of education but has not significantly re-defined school leadership. Rather, it has put even greater pressure on school leaders to meet the demands of their existing constituencies. So this is a handy ‘go-to’ guide, written from experience of over 20 years in senior leadership, as a school inspector and as a member of several school boards. It’s not another manual on leadership theory because it concentrates on immediate practical responses to the landscape a school leader will face, including a final chapter on personal well-being and how to survive the unexpected.
