About this listen

Could partnerships be the key to changing schools for the better? In this episode of Lou Brown Talks, I sit down and chat with Christina Astin, an educator, physicist, and leadership coach who was a founder-Chair of the Schools Together Group now the Schools Partnership Alliance charity, and who I first met when we were both teaching. She shares how her journey from the classroom to consulting led to a framework that helps schools make partnerships actually work, aligning them with big-picture goals. We talk about her drive to inspire kids through science and leadership, rooted in her experience as a female physicist breaking barriers.

Christina’s stories from King’s School, Canterbury and beyond show how she’s tackled government doubts and built collaborations that lift student ambitions. We get into why measuring impact matters, how to spark curiosity in girls for STEM, and why coaching is her next big move to create change.
