Productivity Pitches: Schools

This event is the fifth in the series and will focus on schools.

Each speaker has 10 minutes to present their innovation, followed by 10 minutes of audience questions. The chair and a guest from the Productivity Institute – who are kindly supporting this event series – then brought together the common themes from the pitches and discuss the lessons for improving productivity.

The speakers for this edition of Productivity Pitches are:

• George Barlow, Principal of Belgrave St. Bartholomew’s Academy on the outcome of providing every pupil and teacher with a tablet.
• Steph Hamilton, Director of The Engagement Platform part of the ImpactEd Group which run frequent School Employee surveys that allows schools and MATs to compare their employee satisfaction to peers and use this to improve engagement, satisfaction and retention.
• Lauren Wilson, Head of Marketing and Communications at The Thinking Schools Academy Trust on consolidating communication and marketing functions. Allowing them to standardise their marketing materials and learn what works before rolling it out further.

The event will be chaired by Nick Davies, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. Professor Anna Vignoles, Director of the Leverhulme Trust and Policy Advisor at The Productivity Institute Policy Unit will join to discuss the common themes.
