The Acting Head: How drama shapes authentic school leadership | ISA Podcast S5E6
In this episode, Helen Stanton-Tonner is joined by Faith Hagerty, founder of The Acting Head, recorded live at the ISA Annual Conference in May 2026. Faith draws on her background as a trained actor, former headteacher and leadership coach to explore what authenticity really means for school leaders, and why it matters. They discuss imposter syndrome, the pressures facing independent schools, the value of coaching, and why drama is far more than a curriculum subject. A thoughtful conversation for anyone leading in education today.
