Tom Lawson (Headmaster at Eastbourne College) meets Tim Dalton (Director of Shaftesbury Enterprise at Harrow School) who explains more about Lumina and both the horribly shocking outcomes for looked-after children as well as the extraordinarily positive impacts that the programme has for all involved.

“A fantastic hum of joy, of work, of progress”

Tom then meets Tallan Gill, Head at Kirkham Grammar School, who talks about the family ethos of his new school and about how he once would have liked to have been a farmer.
