The Right Fit
We work with primary, secondary, and K–12 schools of all sizes – from small schools with just a handful of students to large multi-campus institutions.
Despite this, they often have a lot of common challenges:
Students
Behaviour
Learning outcomes
Engagement
Teachers
Burnout
Retention
Inconsistent
Community
Adversarial parents
School reputation
Bullying perceptions
Leadership
Overwhelm
Blame habits
Punitive mindsets
Often, they have already tried multiple programs or a PL day that has given them a short-term improvement, but nothing that’s lasted.
Why Culture Matters
Our schools discover that the most effective approach is not to tackle each issue in isolation. Instead, they focus on strengthening culture of their school.
When schools get their culture right, everything gets better:
- Student engagement and results
- Teacher wellbeing and retention
- Parent relationships
- Reputation in the community
- Leadership satisfaction and effectiveness
Our partnership model is underpinned by our core premise – that the key to improving your school is to work on the culture. If that sounds like something you could sign up for – keep reading.
A Three-Year Partnership
Lasting change doesn’t happen in a day. That’s why we commit to a three-year journey, using our proven School Culture Partnership framework. This long-term approach ensures improvements are sustained, not just short-lived boosts that fade after a program ends.
Our Unique Approach
At the heart of our work is Restorative Practices 2.0 – an evidence-based framework delivering high returns from many small, practical inputs. Instead of creating more work for already stretched staff, we provide tools and processes that actually make life easier while driving significant, lasting improvement.
So… is Real Schools the ‘Right Fit’ for you?
A Real Schools partnership is the right fit for schools and school leaders who:
- Are committed to improving both the academic and citizen building outcomes for their students
- Understand that the most powerful lever for this is improving the culture of the school
- Recognise that this won’t happen overnight, and are willing to partner over a three-year journey
- Are open to working restoratively using RP2.0 – the restorative practice for a modern educational context
