A school’s success doesn’t come from strategy documents or slogans — it comes from people believing in a shared vision. In this episode, we explore how headteachers and senior leaders can build a vision that everyone — staff, pupils, governors, and parents — genuinely owns.

* The difference between leadership and management in daily school life

* Why coherence matters more than complexity in strategic planning

* Practical ways to bring your vision to life across every layer of school culture

* How to turn “vision statements” into living, breathing practice

* Real examples of how shared purpose transforms teams and outcomes

Whether you’re a headteacher shaping your school’s direction or a deputy learning to lead strategically, this episode explores how to unite vision, culture, and action.
