Our Mission

High Performing People, Transforming Cultures

Our mission is to create high performing teachers and school leaders who, by harnessing the power of our programmes, lead the transformation of practice, approach and culture to enable practitioners and pupils to thrive and succeed.

Below is a simple introduction, in 2 parts (High Performing People and Transforming Cultures), to our research into those schools and school leaders who are getting things right and are delivering long-term, sustainable improvement.

What is the difference between changing and transforming?

Too many schools and school leaders rely on gimmicks and quick fixes, resulting in only superficial change in behaviour.

High performing people do not just change their culture, they transform it. Their transformational leadership ensures a shift in the values and mindsets of those they work with, so behaviour change is embedded for the long-term.

Change is doing things differently.

A shift in behaviours

Transformation is a new way of being.

A shift in values

Why transform your organisation into an Empowerment and Growth Culture?

High performing people create cultures based on Empowerment and Growth. This culture is summarised in this model, with 6 key characteristics.

The key question below each characteristic should push teachers and leaders to reflect deeply upon their current successes, as well as inspire productive action and improvement.

Focus: Collaboration – Is empowered thinking being created?

Each characteristic can be further explored through facilitation and coaching. For example, Collaboration is central to any culture as it delivers ‘Purpose’; ‘Interaction’; and ultimately ‘Empowerment’.

Purpose: People are aligned and energised around a common agenda.

Interaction: People communicate effectively, actively and intentionally balancing their listening with their responding.

Empowerment: People work together to create a momentum that drives mindsets forward.
