Is there an optimal way to lead teams and deliver our goals? Some people think so. Through history, models for leadership, operation and delivery have been sold as the route to success. Practitioners have promoted their favoured frameworks, and leaders have announced universal ways of working across every team in global organisations.Despite this conviction, when the reality of Monday morning comes, nothing is quite so simple. Some teams gain real benefit from our changes, but others slow down, and existing capabilities can even be lost. With our reputations on the line, what next? Do we try to be more agile, more authentic or more purposeful? Do we reverse our actions or choose to fund another organisational transformation? In this book, Stephen argues that there can never be an optimal model for leadership or delivery of our goals, and no framework can guarantee results. We need a different way to develop our organisations and that begins by stepping out of the one-size-fits-all cycle.

While the state has extensive powers and duties in relation to state-funded education, independent schools largely sit outside that regime on condition that they meet prescribed standards. 'A Practical Guide to the Independent School Standards' introduces the standards, explains their role in connection with registration and inspection of independent schools and shows how to use them. Busy practitioners are signposted to the key guidance and regulations incorporated into the deceptively short standards. After outlining the standards and linking to relevant legislation and recent case law which helps with interpretation, this book shows how the standards can be applied to common issues affecting pupils such as SEND, mental health, peer-on-peer abuse, admissions and exclusions.The closing chapters consider the role of the standards when things go wrong whether it is a parent wishing to complain about a school, a school questioning the findings of a compliance inspection and/or responding to action by the regulator. Now, thoroughly updated for September 2024, this Practical Guide covers the changes to statutory guidance for 2024, such as Working Together to Improve School Attendance, the Prevent Duty, and new advice on Information Sharing.

The story Hebden Bridge, told through the experiences of three generations of the prosperous Spencer family who made clothes for working men in the nineteenth century.

In this gripping biography of Giuseppe (Beppe) Porcheddu his grandson, David Ross, pieces together the extraordinary strands of his short but action-packed life. Beppe was born into a prosperous family in Turin, Italy. His father, however, had been born in poverty but became one of Italy's greatest construction engineers. In 1917 Beppe volunteered to join the Alpine troops to fight the Austrians and Germans in the Italian Alps. Nearly killed by a grenade he made a miraculous recovery but could only walk with the aid of a stick. Despite a degree in architecture he was drawn to art. Self-taught, he soon achieved major acclaim and aged 27 he was knighted by the King for services to the arts. Marriage followed but with the rise of Mussolini, his anti-fascist views led to exile in France for him and his family. Returning to Italy during the build up to World War II, he relocated to the Italian Riviera where he was less well-known. Hiding his anti-fascism he became a key figure in the clandestine partisan resistance. He helped in the arming and organisation of the local partisans and his villa became a key meeting place. At great risk to himself and his family, Beppe sheltered two British Army officers who were escaped prisoners-of-war, one of whom was later to marry his daughter. Surviving arrest and interrogation by the Fascists, Beppe continued his partisan activities. With the end of the war, Beppe returned to his art but following the marriages of his daughters, he disappeared. With unique access to family papers and previously undiscovered records and letters, Ross has been able to shine a light on this complex, brave and highly-principled man and explore the theories into Beppe's mysterious disappearance.

The closing section provides responses to a series of events that took place in the United States over the course of that same Spring and Summer, some of these also devastating.

Uganda is probably the best country to visit for access to African butterflies, with a wide range of habitats and a very pleasant climate all year round. The road network is good, providing access to accommodation that is clean, with good food and a warm welcome.This second edition has 70 colour plates, 14 more than the first edition, with 96 more photographs, covering 33 more species. All photographs were taken during five visits to Uganda, between 2016 and 2020, mostly, but not exclusively, in places that visitors will go to see other animals, such as birds, chimpanzees or gorillas.The major habitats can be roughly equally divided between savannah and forest, both of which are comfortable to walk in and offer a rich selection of butterflies, with about 1270 species on the list, about double what South Africa has to offer. We have provided a brief description of the places we would recommend but you will find butterflies everywhere in Uganda.
