School culture and improvement - Are we missing the point?: The Twilight Show with Tony Harwood
from Teachers Talk Radio · host Teachers Talk Radio
In this show, we dive deep into the complexities of school culture with headteacher and education researcher Dr John Morris. Drawing on his doctoral work and real-world leadership experience, John explores what “culture” really means in schools beyond slogans and quick fixes. Together with host Tony Harwood, the discussion ranges from leadership blind spots and subcultures within staff teams to the unintended messages sent by architecture, uniforms, and even where the head parks their car. John also reflects on why staff rooms matter, the role of trust in behaviour, and how to avoid reducing culture to a single buzzword.
