Laughter has always mattered deeply to me when it Laughter has always mattered deeply to me when it comes to my work in schools. Through good times and bad, laughter is what transforms a workplace by encouraging humility, authenticity and a sense of belonging.

Taking bookings now our Humour for Humility staff inset session. We have a couple of slots available at the end of August/beginning of September or plenty of availability for January.
