This book is a five-part framework for making a difference in school by analysing what educators need to make a difference to their pupils.
It is a book aimed to leaders and aspiring leaders. It includes all areas of education from children’s progress, their academic success and pastoral care and how to work with colleagues and maximise time and teacher’s strengths and experiences.
The author clearly has a vision and a passion for his topic, however I found it a challenging read. Whilst it is clearly very informative, it is also quite prescriptive. It is a book that needs time to read slowly and absorb, not one you can dip into for a quick fix.
It is filled with strategies to promote good pupil behaviour and prevent bullying in the classroom, and the importance of building knowledge of your staff and looking at the value of training and professional development.
All these issues are so important, but the I felt the advice was delivered in a rather prescriptive way and reading it, one gets rather a negative impression that one has failed thus far! It is an incredibly informative book and clearly well researched and informative but for lesser mortals amongst us, I would like it to be a little more user friendly.

Impact Synopsis
From influential Executive Headteacher Nick Hart comes Impact, a practical framework for improving outcomes for children in both primary and secondary classrooms, helping them thrive and succeed. Impact provides a strategy for thinking about, planning for and maximising the impact of teaching in your school.
All educational establishments require leaders and teachers who can make a difference, regardless of the community context, age range or Ofsted grading of the school. This book condenses the knowledge that educators need and offers practical steps to improve academic attainment and progress, as well as pastoral outcomes such as social and emotional development, behaviour, attendance and wellbeing.
Impact is ideal for the aspiring middle leader striving to make a difference in their school, the middle leader tasked with raising standards in their subject or phase, and the senior leader working on school improvement.
Nick Hart identifies a five-part framework for understanding what impact really looks like, helping educators at all levels to plan for and recognise the difference they can make in their classroom, department or school. This book is the perfect tool to inform professional development, subject action plans and school development plans in a very practical way.

Nick Hart Press Reviews
'Nick Hart's focus upon the golden thread from leadership behaviours through to pupils' learning makes Impact the best school leadership book I have read for a very long time.' - John Tomsett, Educational Consultant and Author, @johntomsett
'It's one thing to provide theoretical models for school improvement, it's quite another to make these intelligible and practical for time-pressed colleagues in busy schools. Nuanced and actionable insights for anyone working to improve outcomes for pupils.' - Mary Myatt, Education Writer, Founder Myatt & Co, @MaryMyatt
'Nick raises lots of the questions that have crossed my mind when trying to tackle school improvement, but more importantly, he also goes on to address them with his usual deep thinking and clarity.' - Michael Tidd, Headteacher, East Preston Junior School, @michaelt1979
