Issue 11 of the Leading Change journal features a diverse range of topics, focusing on enhancing the school experience. From developing an outstanding extra-curricular sports program to simplifying complex ideas, this edition aims to provide valuable insights for educators.

The journal explores the impact of changes in school sports funding and how St Mary’s College in Hull strategically invested in physical education despite financial challenges.
