Description
At Parklands, love is the binding force that brings together nearly 400 pupils and 100 school staff in challenging circumstances. The school's pupils often face significant hardship, but it is famed for outstanding learning outcomes. In this inspiring book, head teacher Chris Dyson shares the story of how he steered the school towards achieving amazing results for its learners. The school's culture and climate of love drive behaviour and decision-making, creating a safe and loving environment where all learners can thrive. Chris Dyson explains how the leadership team raises funds for the school and chooses to spend it on projects that broaden pupils' experiences and cultural capital. From residential trips to in-school productions and sports and arts provision, the school's approach is one of hope and relentless ambition for its children. This book offers valuable insights into the steps taken to make this a reality, and is an uplifting read for all teachers and school leaders.
