We do

As some of you will know, things have changed a little for GoddardPayne in the past month or so. For some time Gene has been considering a move back into schools – a chance to put all he’s learnt and experienced in the past seven years into practice – and as of two weeks ago he has taken on the role of Vice Principal at Harris Academy Purley.

We have worked with the Harris Federation for a number of years – directly with senior leaders and with students and teachers as part of the brilliant and inspirational Harris Student Commission on Learning. It has felt like a natural progression for Gene to take on a role within the federation and he is enjoying every minute of it (from the first day he’s been full of stories about the kids and even the commute isn’t so bad).

Caireen will hold the fort at GoddardPayne for the foreseeable future. Having written two publications and delivered ThePublicOffice in Essex during the last couple of months she’s looking forward to a Learning Futures film project (with Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Innovation Unit), sharing learning from Radical Efficiency in Early Years (with Julie Temperley, NESTA and Innovation Unit), and any other interesting possibilities that might present themselves.

We hope you’ll stay in touch. (Gene can still be contacted on his mobile and at gene@goddardpayne.co.uk)
