James Pope from the HeadsUp4HTs community joins Iona Jackson from Edurio for a practical, candid discussion on purposeful school leadership. 

This interactive session is designed for school leaders who want to understand the bigger picture and find practical ways to navigate the pressures of the role.

Leading a school is a privilege. It offers the chance to inspire others and make a genuine difference. However, the reality often involves rising expectations and limited resources.

Many leaders feel the weight of these demands daily.

In this live discussion with James Pope, we move beyond theory to look at the facts. We will explore how national challenges surfacing in Edurio’s survey data impact your daily reality.
