Sparking Genius · How School Leaders Shape Student Success · 29 May 2026 podcast

What do you see that helps unlock particular opportunities and experiences for both students and teachers in London because of the network?

I really appreciate the support that each of the schools give one another.

They're very unique in their own way because of where they are in the world and their cultures and their faiths and their languages that they really promote.

But of course, there is this common family feeling across and whether it's students cross-collaborating, like you mentioned in those fantastic experiences that your London students have.

or whether it be teachers doing professional development and leadership opportunities with other educators across the Dwight network and of course leadership too.

Being able to share experiences and following that spark of genius isn't just for the students, which is so important to our mission, but it's finding that spark of genius in educators and leaders and making sure we motivate them all the time.

and validate them for the career that they've undertaken as a leader and as a teacher.

Well, I know we're getting towards the end of our session here, but I'd love to ask you about some leadership principles and about the future that you see for school leaders.

What gives you the most optimism about the future of education and the direction that schools are going into, particularly the global perspective?

And if you could give one piece of advice to school leaders who may be listening in on this conversation today, where do you think schools need to be bolder as they go forward?

Or what could school leaders really be considering that is important for them right now?

They're great suggestions.

And I think we tend to get bogged down with the day to day or as you said, get stuck in the office and you it's hard to get out.

So you've given some really good advice and motivation today.

So thanks, Chris, for giving us your perspective on school leadership and hope that the rest of your school year goes well as you finish out the next couple of months.

Well again, thanks Chris.

It's been a wonderful podcast today and thank you for joining us.

Thanks,

And that brings us to the end of another episode of Sparking Genius.

I'd like to extend a big thank you to Chris Beddows for sharing his insights on leadership, innovation, and the power of global connection in education.
