    Annual Review 2016/17 Pushing at the frontiers of Knowledge Portrait of Dr Henry Odili Nwume (Brasenose) by Sarah Jane Moon – see The Full Picture, page 17. FOREWORD 2016/17 has been a memorable year for the country and for our University. In the ever-changing and deeply uncertain world around us, the University of Oxford continues to attract the most talented students and the most talented academics from across the globe. They convene here, as they have always done, to learn, to push at the frontiers of knowledge and to improve the world in which we find ourselves. One of the highlights of the past twelve months was that for the second consecutive year we were named the top university in the world by the Times Higher Education Global Rankings. While it is reasonable to be sceptical of the precise placements in these rankings, it is incontrovertible that we are universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest universities in the world. This is a privilege, a responsibility and a challenge. Other highlights include the opening of the world’s largest health big data institute, the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery, and the launch of OSCAR – the Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research – a major new research centre in Suzhou near Shanghai. In addition, the Ashmolean’s success in raising £1.35 million to purchase King Alfred’s coins, which included support from over 800 members of the public, was a cause for celebration. The pages that follow detail just some of the extraordinary research being conducted here on perovskite solar cells, indestructible tardigrades and driverless cars.

    www.rcs.ac.uk We are appointing a new Principal The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland | We are appointing a new Principal I’ve enjoyed my time at the marvellous Royal Conservatoire of Scotland enormously and intend to maintain our upward momentum over the coming year or so. My successor will be taking on one of the most stimulating and rewarding jobs in Scotland. PROFESSOR JOHN WALLACE CBE 2 The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland | We are appointing a new Principal Chairman’s Welcome Thank you for expressing an interest in the post of Principal at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. The Royal Conservatoire’s current Principal, John Wallace CBE, will retire in September 2014 after twelve outstandingly successful years in office. John Wallace will leave the Conservatoire in great shape. A new undergraduate curriculum was introduced in session 2012/13 which, at the same time as maintaining disciplinary focus and excellence, exploits the potential for interdisciplinary collaboration between and across the range of artistic disciplines offered by the Conservatoire, which includes every genre of the performing arts. Our estate is world-class and our engagements with the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education tell us that, academically, we are a well-managed and effectively led institution. Applicant demand for our programmes is buoyant and, whilst we operate in the same challenging economic environment as many other higher education institutions, the Conservatoire’s financial head remains firmly above water. The Conservatoire is now seeking an exceptional individual to succeed John Wallace, to build on his many and significant achievements and to enhance the Conservatoire’s international profile and reputation – all for the benefit of our students, current and future.

  • Becoming a Primary School Principal in Ireland: Deputy-Principalship As Preparation
    Becoming a Primary School Principal in Ireland: Deputy-Principalship as Preparation Derrick Grant A thesis submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Lincoln for the degree of: Doctor of Education – Education Leadership and Management Centre for Educational Research and Development, University of Lincoln 2013 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Professor Howard Stevenson, for all his guidance and support, coupled with his patience and humour. I would also like to express a very special word of appreciation to Professor Emeritus Angela Thody for her invaluable help in shaping my study during the final stages of completion. Her support, guidance and comments came at a very important time on my research journey. I am very grateful to the twelve deputy-principals for taking the time and interest to make invaluable contributions to this thesis. The research could not have been completed without their willingness to reflect on their leadership role and career aspirations. Finally, I want to thank my wife, Amanda, who has come on this educational journey with me, undertaking her own doctoral research. We have met the challenges of the doctorate together, keeping each other grounded and focused through all the highs and lows. i Abstract This thesis investigated influences on primary school deputy-principals’ motivations to apply for principalship in the early twenty-first century in the Irish Republic. This required the exploration of both principals’ and deputy-principals’ roles in management and leadership to discover how better to prepare deputies to continue to the principalship. The research approach sat firmly within the qualitative paradigm, using semi-structured interviews with twelve primary deputy-principals exploring their construction of deputyship and principalship from their professional socialisation experiences.
