Why this video matters...
School improvement is rarely a straight line, but most leaders are still handed advice as if it is.
This video reframes that thinking.
In this session, I unpack the Sigmoid Curve and use real-world analogies, from the motor industry to elite cycling, to show how meaningful, sustainable improvement works in schools. I explain why progress often dips before it rises, why change requires course correction, and why leaders must recognise the moment when a current pathway is about to peak.
But the video goes far beyond theory.
You’ll see how the Simpang Index Tools (Clarity, Wellbeing, Inclusion, Curriculum, Leadership & Culture, Assessment, Communication) help leadership teams uncover what they don’t yet know, diagnose where practice is reactive or evolving, and map out the next strategic step, without relying on generic checklists or silver-bullet solutions.
This is a practical guide for leaders who want:
⭑ A clearer understanding of how change really works in schools.
⭑ A framework to ask the difficult questions that truly move practice forward.
⭑ A way to build leadership alignment, strengthen culture, and make data meaningful.
⭑ A structure for improvement that doesn’t begin with a blank page.
⭑ Tools they can immediately use with their own teams.
You’ll also see why sustainable improvement is a team effort, using the Mission: Support analogy to explore how leaders support one another to reach new highs, and how Simpang’s Leadership Rooms build exactly that kind of shared momentum.
Whether you’re a headteacher, senior leader, middle leader, or someone preparing to improve systems across a school, this video gives you:
⭑ A new mental model for change.
⭑ A set of questions that surface blind spots.
⭑ A pathway to move from reactive → evolving → strategic & sustainable.
⭑ A glimpse of how Simpang partners with schools in a bespoke, embedded way.
This isn’t a presentation of answers. It’s a framework for finding the right answers for your school.

If this thinking resonates, the most natural next step is a conversation.
Simpang Start is a short, open discussion to explore whether a Simpang partnership could add real value to your school.
No pitch.
No pressure.
Just clarity.
