Expert advice on how to improve your school's environment

How this can help you

You will receive practical advice designed about how to improve your school environment and raise expectations in your school.

We’ll tell you what changes are needed to make your school look and feel like an exceptional school.

Our recommendations are always:

  • Inexpensive to realise (they require a little time and we’re not talking about expensive redecoration, far from it)
  • Quick to do (each change typically takes 15mins)
  • Huge impactful on how your school comes across (to anyone who comes into it)

How schools have benefited

‘Over the past few months I have noted many small changes in the school – the way children behave in the playground for example, or the changed appearance of the meeting area outside the office. The whole school has a subtly altered atmosphere…These are small changes but I regard them as highly significant – and I’m sure they stem from Heads Up.’

Frank Bowron, Governor, St Albans

‘We walked the whole school with Sonia and got a great list of practical ways to make our school look and feel exceptional, both in and outside of class.

It helped confirm ideas I’d had and gave me the reassurance to take them forward. Sonia also gave my team and I, new ideas that were simple, cost free and are already making an impact across our school. The changes have helped me get a clearer head and is improving working practices throughout our school.

I would recommend an ‘Environmental Walk’ with Sonia for any school looking for quick and inexpensive (free) ways to improve the environment and as a result, enhance the atmosphere and culture of the school.’

Rebecca Drysdale, Headteacher, Ilford County High School
