Biography
Dr Gohar Khan is Director of Ethos & Culture at the Ridgeway Education Trust. Her research interests have included Post-Colonial and Feminist Literature, and more recently, Gohar has devoted herself to exploring, enriching, and expanding school ethos, culture, and the possibilities that come from investing in values-based student leadership. Gohar has 15 years of experience as a teacher and school leader and has worked with several schools to establish their own ethos and young leadership programmes worldwide.
I have been lucky enough to personally witness the inspirational work of Dr Gohar Khan. This book is essential for any leader who is serious about developing a forward looking
and rich school culture which encourages all students to develop as leaders. The book combines strategic insight with very practical tips which will support school leaders in developing youngsters who are articulate, resilient, courageous, curious and have the confidence to stand up for what they believe in.
