The chemistry of a successful school can be seen in all its glory in Educating Greater Manchester, the Channel 4 fly-on-wall documentary series about life at Harrop Fold School.
It is there in the details, in the countless interactions that happen in any typical school day. It is in the way a teacher listens to a pupil’s problems or in how a teacher skilfully guides a student towards that moment of understanding in the classroom. It can be seen in the humour and camaraderie between staff on display in meetings, in hallways, on the playground or in the staffroom.
Of course that chemistry wouldn’t exist if leaders didn’t find and appoint the right staff – and then support, develop and trust them so that they can make a long-term contribution towards the success of the school.
