    The Power of People

    01/04/2026 | 32 mins.
    Ever noticed how one, small but heartfelt comment of praise or affirmation can change your mood for the better in an instant? Or, conversely, how a throwaway jibe or negative word can derail you all day? That's the power we have over one another in school and in life. In this episode we discuss how language impacts wellbeing and how the culture of language in schools may be having a bigger impact than you realise.

    Schools: Society’s Safety Net - Part One

    05/02/2026 | 33 mins.
    Like it or not, schools have become the ‘first responders’ not just to pupils’ needs, but families and communities as a whole. Safeguarding, medical, financial, housing, diet, personal safety, hygiene, family dispute, relationship breakdowns… Schools seem to be at the forefront of support in ways that we wouldn’t have imagined 15 years ago. But why? What’s changed?

    Join us as we take a very honest look at what it means to be ‘more than just a school’.
