Had a brilliant evening with KYRA colleagues last night – the people who made this school partnership thrive for over a decade. So proud of the friendships forged, the values lived, and the lasting impact on children and on each other. What a legacy. #LongLiveTheKyraDNA@KYRAteaching
I’m overwhelming proud to be the headteacher of our school. I couldn’t have achieved this without my dedicated, amazing team. Our children and staff are exceptional. 🥂🙌#BelieveExciteSucceedTogether
Fabulous to be with Pharos Leaders yesterday, inspired by the wonderful Astrid Korin: framing discussions around leading with courage & compassion & sharing strategies on how to develop a strong school culture to survive periods of change. Thank you for filling our well, Astrid x
@petch_matt@KYRAteaching@helenbarker79 @Lauren_Nicoll It is our great pleasure and privilege to be with you on your leadership journey. A truly inspiring yet humble group of KYRA leaders - DNA through and through 🤗
Great to connect with original KYRA founding members today to share that it is the “how” and not the “what” that matters, and those small acts of support for and kindness to one another that continue to be so valued. So proud to belong to our KYRA community⭐️
Reflections from the spring term indicate that strong collaboration is key for school leaders right now.

The last 10 years requires a book. You did the Teaching Schools thing better and more innovatively than any of us at NCSL could have envisaged back in 2009. A special era for Lincolnshire, and a system leader in the truest sense. Godspeed, MC. #leader
@marieclaire78@AnthemTrust@KYRAteaching Thank you, MC, for trailblazing KYRA’s DNA: our ways of working together. Our course is set, and we look forward to catching up with you on your new adventures. You will be brilliant! X
@KYRAteaching Privilege to be on the journey with aspiring KYRA leaders. Grateful to Sue Belton, our drop-in Head, for sharing her wisdom of 38 yrs: collaborate, be kind, keep learning, engage in peer review, develop future leaders for “our” collective children. One in 1mn ❤️
@KYRAteaching A wonderful opportunity to meet IPS & local cluster schools in Brisbane to share KYRA’s peer review journey. Inspirational leaders leading incredible schools, keen to learn from one another and find that “sticky vehicle”. Loving The Engine Room 🌟
@KYRAteaching Enormous thank you to the school leaders & their teams for inviting me to their schools this week: The Gap State High School, North Lakes College & Brisbane State High School. You are doing incredible work & transforming young peoples lives. Truly inspirational 🌟
@FarrarMaggie @KYRAteaching It was a great session at our @QLDEducation#IPSAlliance Leadership Day in Brisbane, learning about the @KYRAteaching experience with authentic peer review. Lesley was most generous in sharing her insights and reflections. Some interesting and powerful messages for schools.
“Hardwiring soft collaboration through peer review”
At #IPSAlliance, @KYRAteaching’s Lesley Coulthurst shares the peer review journey of Lincolnshire schools:
- feedback-rich culture
- common language & understanding
- measuring impact
- sustainability & new learning
So looking forward to working with our 38 KYRA SPP reviewers and improvement champions tomorrow. Exploring how best to use evidence-based research in our improvement workshops and how to maximise our learning across the Alliance - 15 minutes of fame! Better together: KYRA 🌟
