In 2019-20 WE launched our stand out schools initiative. This brought secondary schools together to showcase their stand out features or practice; the innovative ways they were delivering a high-quality whole education that responded to the needs of their local context.

WE achieved this with school visits, based around our appreciative inquiry framework. A key part of the visits was ‘Ignite speeches’.

“The Ignite presentation format is a 5 minutes long presentation with 20 slides and with the slides advancing automatically every 15 seconds, forcing speakers to get the point, fast. The result is a fun- and fast- presentation.”

Watch Ignite speeches from WE school leaders below – summing up in five minutes what makes their school unique.
