Another powerful conversation on The School Podcast 🎙️
This week I sat down with @trystanpw_ , an education leader with 30+ years of experience!
We spoke about:
Leading with heart, school culture, behaviour, SEND, leadership and the list can go on!
One thing that really stood out…
We should judge education on what we do for society’s most vulnerable children.
A proper conversation with no fluff, it was a real insight from someone who’s lived it.
A big thank you to @NisaiLearning for sponsoring the podcast!

🚨 Leaders Define the Attendance Culture 👇
Attendance isn’t owned by one person.
It’s shaped by leadership across the school.
When systems work in isolation, barriers remain:
👉 Disengagement misread as behaviour
👉 SEND needs missed
👉 Safeguarding signals hidden
🚨 FREE Attendance on a Page Poster!
A simple poster… with a powerful message.
Attendance is not just about being in school.
It’s about children being seen, supported and safe.

Eternally grateful for the unconditional support on and off a football pitch Marv’s given to me and my family, from as early as I could kick a ball. An amazing coach but an even better human. Sending nothing but love and strength to him and his family ❤️
❓How do you really target set for Persistent Absence (PA)?
At the current national rate, it’ll take 8 years to return to pre-pandemic levels.
Our schools reduce PA 5x faster — using data-driven, evidence-informed targets, not guesses.
Every % matters. Every child counts.
Action-packed 24 hours at the Education Forum 🎙️ Recorded live podcasts with Diana Osagie, @AJRAllModCons , @Nadineolivia32 , Theresa & Omar. Lovely seeing my mate @trystanpw_ . Met some amazing people—can’t wait to run it back!
