'The secret to the success of my school? Laughing, laughing, laughing'
Why have so many teachers been allowed to forget that encouraging our students to love school is a key part of our mission, asks one headteacher
Recently, we were visited by a group of teachers looking at moving their school from good to outstanding. My staff and I were asked many varied and diverse questions. One stood out, however: "What do you think was the most strategically important decision you took that helped you make the step up?"
My answer didn't come straight away, but then I woke up one morning with a smile on my face and it hit me: as a school we laugh a lot and encourage children to do so, too.
