In this episode we speak to the inspirational Kathryn Morgan about creating a legacy for professional development within education. Kathryn has a wealth of experiencein working for some national providers and we hope you find this useful.

In this episode we speak to the life force, vibrant and inspirational Diana Osagie about leadership at a school level. Diana brings vast experience into this conversation having been a HT for many years whilst now running her leadership coaching company, Courageous Leadership. Within this interview Diana is her usual self, energetic, positive, brave and to the point and we think you are going to love hearing from her.

In this episode we speak to the creative force, outside of the box thinker and all around legend, Ben Parnell about education, leadership and having an impact on some of the toughest schools out there. We believe that all educationalists should have a view and Ben certainly does - whether you agree or disagree with him, you cannot argue that education isn't stronger because of people like him challenging the status quo.

In this episode we speak to the inspirational Laura McInerney, founder of Teacher Tapp, former editor of Schools Week and columnist for The Guardian. The focus of this episode is to gain a broader understanding of how teachers and educationalists can make a wider difference to education through taking calculated risks and being brave. As a former teacher, Laura knows only too well the pressures within the classroom and talks with honesty and integrity about how she has looked to push herself to make a bigger contribution to the education sector and the impact of this. This interview shows us that there is no one right path and that if we can just look at life and careers through a different lens, there are a whole range of opportunities out there for us...as long as we are brave!

In this episode we speak to the inspirational Sir David Carter, former National Schools' Commissioner for England, about leadership, school improvement and most importantly of all making a difference. Whether you are interested in education, a teacher, SBM, TA, AHT, HT or other role, we think you'll get lots from what Sir David has to say and the integrity in which he says it.

In this episode we are joined by leadership expert and inspiration to many, Tracy Ruddle. Tracy is the former Director for Continuous School Improvement at Birmingham Education Partnership, was a Regional Director for United Learning and has been the HT of a number of schools. In this episode Tracy talks about what makes effective leaders and takes the time to share personal stories about her career.

This episode was recorded during lockdown 3 and is aimed at highlighting new technologies and approaches to aid teachers in support children with SEND. In the podcast we are joined by Katy Whitcombe (SENCO for Robin Hood Academy) and Grace Dooley (Y5 class teacher at Robin Hood Academy).

In this episode we are joined by Chris Dyson, the inspirational Headteacher of Parklands Primary in Leeds. Chris has worked relentlessly over the past few years to not only connect with the community but also to ensure that Parklands becomes the hub of community support. As a leader, Chris is unique and a real outside of the box thinker and you'll get to see this when he discusses helping to provide food in the community. It blew our minds what he managed to achieve! THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED DURING LOCKDOWN 1. Please be aware that at times in the podcast the audio (for fleeting moments) becomes grainy. We have worked hard to minimise this but have not been able to remove it totally and yet we didn't want to lose the messages that Chris has shared and so have decided to go live with this podcast in spite of the occasional audi issue. Many thanks for your understanding on this.
