In this episode of the Tes International podcast we head to China to chat about staff retention with Garry Russell, head of college at Dulwich College Shanghai Pudong, and Lavinia Tong, head of admissions and marketing at the school.
They explain why retention is such an important focus for the school and how, through a mix of career opportunities and ambitious goal setting, coupled with a strong community ethos, they aim to keep staff with the school for as long as possible.
They also talk about how they are developing student alumni networks to help enhance their school’s community feeling and ensure that the success of past pupils and their life stories can be shared with current cohorts.
