Strategic Direction

Strategic Direction

The School is pleased to launch the next phase of its strategic direction. The document provides an in-depth exploration of the school as it exists in the broader context of education and sets the aspiration for the education that Pulteney is proud to provide and will endeavour to enhance in the years to come.

The Pulteney strategic direction, seeks to set the course towards challenging some of the most significant challenges that confront contemporary education:  the time and place arrangements developed in the 1800s which still govern learning to this day; the notion of learning defined by age rather than ability; and the importance of nurturing agency in students and teachers, alike, whilst allowing for the natural and inevitable ebb and flow of ideas.

The document commits the School to a direction whilst maintaining the ability to steer as opportunity and need demands. In its design, the strategic direction establishes multiple horizons to inform current and future strategic thinking:

Who we are and why we exist

These are the timeless aspects of Pulteney. Our origin, our values, our mission and vision.

The educational context

The influence of research, society and opportunity on education and its design.

The strategic

The opportunities that the School will pursue in the next term of the strategic plan.

Now

What will happen today.

Each of these horizons offers a different point of focus; the chance to align the long term direction of education with the unique aspects of our School culture and with what is happening in the School, today. As an approach to strategic thinking it acknowledges that our future draws strength from our past and that everything comes together in our present.

At the centre of this strategic direction is education: teaching and learning. Every initiative, every idea, every endeavour is guided by a clear direction that seeks to establish a vision for what school will feel like for students, parents and teachers: The Pulteney Experience.

I take this opportunity to thank you for your commitment to Pulteney Grammar School; without our school community we have no purpose, no reason to exist. I would also like to offer my sincere thanks to Chair of the Board, Mr Allen Candy – together with the Board of Governors – for their support, their vision and their wisdom.

I look forward to the opportunities that this vision offers us in the years ahead.
