216. Transforming Schools with Learning Science: Inside Two High-Performing UK Schools


Listen Later

What if improving results across an entire school came down to a handful of simple learning habits, done well, every day? 

In this episode we sit down with two headteachers from top-performing UK schools – Andy Green (Copleston High School) and Peter Lee (Q3 Academy Langley) – to discover how the science of learning effectively has influenced their leadership, teaching approaches, and the learning experiences of their students when put into practice across an entire school community.

We unpack how clear routines in the classroom, research-led CPD, well-communicated simple revision strategies, and a tight teaching playbook can improve engagement, consistency and exam results school-wide. 

This episode is slightly different to our normal fare, but it is packed with practical insights. Whether you’re a teacher, school leader, parent or student, you’ll come away with concrete ideas for building a culture of effective learning – in the classroom and at home.

Three invitations for (UK) educators:

1.      Come and watch me teach (revision strategy workshop) 

Want to see what expert revision strategy training actually looks like in a real classroom? Come and watch me in action delivering a revision strategy workshop in a school near you. 

2.      Take part in the Revision Census

I’ve surveyed the revision habits of over 75,000 students in the UK to date. Want an insight into the habits of your own students? Participate in the Revision Census and get a clear, data-rich picture of your students’ current habits, what’s working well, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement lie.

3.      Work with me (student workshops + teacher CPD)

Level up on learning science across your whole school: sign up for high-impact revision workshops for students and CPD for teachers in your own school. 

If any of these sound useful for your school, get in touch with Katie at [email protected]  and we’ll get the ball rolling.
