Maggie Farrar knows plenty about collaboration and partnership and the role it can play in driving forward school improvement.
As a former senior director at the National College for School Leadership, Ms Farrar had an instrumental role in developing and promoting collaboration and partnership approaches that are now becoming a common feature of the school landscape.
Ms Farrar, now an independent consultant with a focus on cluster-based school improvement, has contributed her thinking about partnerships to the National Professional Qualification now being developed and delivered by Outstanding Leaders Partnership.
Ms Farrar explained: “I was recently struck by a quote from Professor Alan Dyson at Manchester University on challenging patterns of inequality.
