Julia Middleton and Common Purpose have coined the above phrase and it has really resonated with me; it is about seeing the bigger picture, about taking responsibility for problems other than our own within society at large and sharing emerging effective practices. From my very little experience, I also believe that the community need to do more to instil better behaviour in students. I’m an advocate of members of the public picking people up on anti-social behaviour.
Julia Middleton talks of leaders who can create their own legitimacy, that see further, wider, deeper. It is crucial for our leaders to know how things work in different worlds and bring them closer together. Boundaries are blurring all the time—why can’t independent schools team up with challenging inner-city schools? It is not about right and wrong or about individuals but about making the world around us better.
