Your Sleuth Practice

We are very proud of the professional rapport that we have established with many of the exceptional school leaders that we work with. These collaborations have led to some outstanding examples of practice that our Advisory Team can share with you when you are planning your own Sleuth Project.

Below are a selection of extracts from interviews with school leaders discussing their use of Sleuth and its impact in their school. In each case, Sleuth has been adapted to suit their own particular setting and to meet their own school improvement objectives.

We are regularly adding to this library of examples of good practice. Please contact us if you would like to be sent new interviews as they are published.
