He shares his journey from running nightclubs to becoming an influential figure in the education sector and we find out how teaching saved him.

He highlights the integral role of setting clear behavioural expectations and embedding routines in creating a conducive learning environment. Tom also discusses the creation and implementation of a behaviour curriculum and the origins of researchED.
