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 Two
05/03/2026 | 32 mins.
We delve deeper into the evolving roles and responsibilities of schools in meeting the needs of their communities. We look for the possible solutions and ways of juggling these conflicting demands in order to "keep the main thing the main thing".
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’.
Third Camel From the Left: Nativity Nonsense!
11/12/2025 | 30 mins.
Ho, ho, ho! Its the final episode of 2025!
In this episode, we discuss the much-loved tradition of the School Nativity. We debate the virtues and pitfalls of putting on a show and the value and importance of performance. We also reflect on our own memories of being in school nativities - fish on sticks, aliens, falling off stage and overcoming the nerves.
