We believe every school is
a place where teachers
can flourish… 
Let us show you how…

Schoolgenie…

Schoolgenie has been a four-year funded project to tackle the school culture issues that lead to poor teacher retention and wellbeing. We believe the current education system breeds fear in teachers and school leaders and to tackle this we created and ran an 8-day, retreat-based programme, with multiple cohorts of headteachers and school leaders. In this programme, leaders learnt to trust themselves and each other, learning how to dissolve fear and transform their schools into psychologically safe places where teachers and pupils can flourish.

The impact…

The impact has been far beyond our expectations, fundamentally changing lives through equipping school and academy leaders to lead with love rather than fear. This project, in its current form has come to the end of its funding and we now would like to give away our learning to help shift how staff feel in schools, to enable them to stay, thrive and flourish.
