Product reviews for Unfinished Business

Richard Gill, MAT CEO, West Midlands

I have just finished reading "Unfinished Business: The Life and Legacy of Sir Tim Brighouse," and I have to say, it’s a fantastic tribute with much to provoke future education thinking akin to the many conversations I enjoyed having with Tim during the time I knew him. However, this book isn’t just a collection of memories; it’s a powerful call to action for anyone who cares about education.

What I loved most is how it captures Tim's vision for schooling. He had such a knack for cutting through the noise and getting to the heart of what really matters in education. His ideas about creating a fairer system for all children and young people—especially those who need a ‘louder’ voice—are more relevant than ever. The book dives deep into his thoughts on rethinking exams and focusing on what will help our current and future generation thrive, both academically and personally.

The contributions from various educators, politicians, and friends add so much richness to the narrative. It feels like a heartfelt conversation among people who genuinely want to make a difference.

"Unfinished Business" is not just a tribute; it’s an inspiring roadmap for transforming education. I believe it’s a must-read for teachers, school leaders, and anyone involved in shaping the future of our schools.This book will spark conversations and motivate action—just like Tim would have wanted!

Highly recommend it!
