Headteacher Stephanie Benbow brought St Mary's High School out of Special Measures in 2005, but has felt frustrated by the slow rate of progress since. She believes there is a lack of aspiration amongst pupils and some staff, and asks Tom Barwood and Heather Flint to offer guidance on how to help th More…e school progress.

Tom Barwood, a former advertising executive, turned motivational guru and Heather Flint, a government advisor and formerly a successful headteacher, visit schools to tackle educational challenges.
