In This Session

The Children's Trust School was an Outstanding School - but all was not well. Low staff morale, fragmented processes and high staff absence were taking the school in the wrong direction. Robin Bertrand, co-headteacher of the school, shares his leadership journey, demonstrating how rebuilding trust, strengthening teams, and embedding clear systems brought transformation and created a culture of clarity, confidence and sustainable momentum.

This webinar offers practical insight into leading meaningful change through SchooliP, showing how smarter systems, purposeful conversations, and aligned priorities can re‑energise a staff team and drive real school improvement.
