Impact

Nick Hart’s focus upon the golden thread from leadership behaviours through to pupils’ learning makes Impact the best school leadership book I have read for a very long time. – John Tomsett * Educational Consultant and Author, @johntomsett *It’s one thing to provide theoretical models for school improvement, it’s quite another to make these intelligible and practical for time-pressed colleagues in busy schools. Nuanced and actionable insights for anyone working to improve outcomes for pupils. – Mary Myatt * Education Writer, Founder Myatt & Co, @MaryMyatt *Nick raises lots of the questions that have crossed my mind when trying to tackle school improvement, but more importantly, he also goes on to address them with his usual deep thinking and clarity. – Michael Tidd * Headteacher, East Preston Junior School, @michaelt1979 *

Throughout the book, Nick simplifies processes that can be worked towards in ensuring a positive climate throughout a school environment, offering a thread of examples and templates that can be adapted locally.This is a very well-considered and researched book by Nick, showcasing how primary schools can work towards making a positive difference.
