We are a group of experienced educationalists, from a variety of backgrounds, for example, headship, advisory work, and inspections, who recognised that there was a need to formally identify schools that develop their students in a way that is not currently measured by national inspection frameworks. We believe these schools do something exceptional to develop students who have World Class skills, competencies and characteristics, in order to flourish in an emerging global economy.
As a network of schools
We are World Class learners and leaders with a commitment to achieving the best for our community and our best in the work-place, by acquiring a deep knowledge and understanding of our world.
As secondary students we
-
- Are excellent learners dedicated to life-long learning
- Are exceptional leaders and organisers
- Consistently out-perform students from similar contexts, and are committed to continually improving our performance
- Are active participants in our school, local or relevant communities
As primary pupils
Because of who we are, what we feel, and how we learn, we are World Class.
As special school pupils
We are life ready.
Charlie Jenkinson – Director
Charlie has always focused on the holistic development of individual students. Developing each student’s sense of identity with reference to local, national and global communities is Charlie’s touchstone. Through a career in leading UK boarding schools, and holding academic, pastoral and co-curricular leadership roles concurrently, Charlie has a deep understanding of how complex schools work, how students can make the most of opportunities available to them and how to work with faculty to instil a culture of purpose within a school. Charlie has worked with organisations around the world throughout his career and delivered multiple presentations and workshops to international schools and universities. For the last 4 years he has worked for global organisations committed to social and global mobility and innovation in education, most recently as Chief Strategy Officer for the World Leading Schools Association.
Charlie has developed strong local and global partnerships in all the schools he has worked in and has been heavily involved in several cross-sector partnerships. He was Vice-Chair of The Langley Academy governing body from 2015-2018. TLA is a school which introduced museum-based learning, housing its own on-site museum and working closely with a variety of museums and independent schools with their own collections. Charlie was appointed to this governing body due to his belief in helping students become curators of their learning and life, and it this philosophy which also drives his current businesses. As a strategic thinker and problem-solver, Charlie now works closely with organisations needing cultural change but also commits his time to developing accessible personal development and global education programs for students around the world and helping schools leverage the power of partnerships and networks.
