Key message Assuring accelerating change

• A key conclusion from the Kemnal story is that
  there are now solutions available/proven which
  will accelerate and assure the achievement of
  high performance, particularly
• local control of assets, staffing and budgets
• whole-school workforce staffing models
• fit-for-purpose enterprise ICT solutions
• evidenced-based approach to personalisation of
  learning
• Some of these solutions were not available and/or
  proven until recently

School leaders now have the opportunity to take a
whole systems approach, using the solutions now
available, to assure and accelerate the required
changes
