In an article in School Management Plus @ISM_Plus Jaideep Barot, Chair of HMC and Headmaster of Bristol Grammar School @BGSBristol believes independent schools should be deeply connected to their communities and accessible to all. See the article here: buff.ly/Jcqrrlo In a recent conversation he shared how his own experiences—as a scholarship student, an educator, and now a leader—have shaped his belief in education as a driver of social change. 💡 His leadership journey wasn’t just about taking charge but learning to listen, collaborate, and refine his vision. “I thought leaders were born, but I realized at about 30, you can learn this,” he reflects. 🎯 Under his leadership, BGS has worked to move from “good” to “great,” striving to reflect Bristol’s diversity and engage meaningfully with its community. His broader call to action? For independent schools to be part of the solution in an evolving education landscape. 🔎 With increasing scrutiny on the role of private education, Barot makes a compelling case: rather than division, collaboration between the independent and state sectors can unlock real progress. #Education #Leadership #HMCLeadingIndependentSchools #CommunityImpact
