Sue Williamson, CEO, SSAT describes her life through education; not only as a former student, but also as a former leader.

At SSAT we believe that we are at a critical moment for schooling and in a series of on-line conferences are looking at Why change is needed, now? We strongly believe that change needs to be led by the profession – join the conversation and lets redesign schooling, so that every child, whatever their ability or context, leave school fully prepared to lead fulfilled and purposeful lives.

I am aware from conversations with schools that government guidance is being interpreted in a variety of ways as at times the guidance appears to be contradictory particularly in terms of social distancing and self-isolation of those with significant underlying health conditions.

In these challenging times, SSAT would have liked to have seen more decisive action from the government.
