University of Cambridge International Examinations is hosting the first Cambridge Leaders’ Seminar for Principals and Deputy Principals from across Sri Lanka on 26 June 2012. The Seminar, to be held at Taj Samudra, Colombo, will highlight Cambridge’s efforts to support school leaders by providing them with the skills to deliver the best educational experience for their students.

The theme of the seminar is ‘The impact of leadership on teaching and learning’ and reflects our ambition to support school leaders by providing them with the skills to deliver the best educational experience for their students. Mr. John Guy, who has recently been appointed Senior Education Advisor to Cambridge International Examinations, will be present on the occasion to address the audience on ‘How does leadership impact teaching?’

John Guy has recently been appointed Senior Education Advisor to University of Cambridge International Examinations. In September 2010, he retired after 25 years as a sixth form college principal. The last 18 years he held the position of Principal of Farnborough Sixth Form College, the largest sixth form college in the UK with some 3250 full-time 16-19 year old students.

The College was designated as outstanding by Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Schools who declared its teaching and learning to be the best in the country. Previously, John had been Principal of St Philip’s RC Sixth Form College in Birmingham and had taught chemistry in grammar, independent and comprehensive schools in the UK.

He studied chemistry at Birmingham University, graduating with first class honours in 1971, before undertaking a post-doctoral fellowship at Cambridge University, becoming a Fellow of St Edmund’s College. Until 2010, he was an UCLES Syndic and Board Member of OCR, and he currently chairs the Qualifications Committee for the Examination Board.
