News from Head of SchoolSchool PlanFollowing on from the open planning meeting, and discussions both within functions and at the School Leadership Team, we now have a draft school plan for 2010. A descendent of this will be submitted to the Faculty at the end of February, so please feel invited to discuss this further within functions or with heads of function, and/or to pass back comments to me by Friday 12th February. There will also be an opportunity to discuss the draft plan at the school board on Wednesday 3rd February. SustainabilityThe university aspires to improve its sustainability, for example by reducing its carbon footprint year-on-year (see here). At least, this will involve understanding better how energy is being used, and what actions might usefully be taken (please resist the temptation here to email me about the heating system in Kilburn…). To meet the aspiration, “sustainability enthusiasts” are being identified, who in our context might usefully hope to improve understanding of issues and identify school-level actions that might have some effect. If you would be interested in taking on such a role (for which duties credit will be available to academics), please let me know by Friday 12th February.
