The overriding impact of the PROGRESS Programme is that people seem much happier. They feel that they have got a voice; that they can change things. You just feel as you move around the school that people are working together better. That shift has been really wonderful for me. Having a happier staff makes my job a lot easier.

As a result of doing PROGRESS, the staff is communicating better with me, and with each other. The whole atmosphere is more energy driven. We have a lot more sharing of ideas, a lot more creativity happening and a lot more initiative.
