Greetings!Tea with the Head used to be a podcast entirely devoted to conversations with headmasters and headmistresses of Britain's finest boarding schools. But we've shaken things up a little bit. From now on, you won't just hear us chatter with the headteacher, but you'll get a full aural profile of the school in question. We'll take listeners on the road with us as we visit one of Britain's finest boarding schools and find out what it's really like. You'll hear us sit down for tea with the headteacher, to talk about their school and all things education; we'll roam around campus, interviewing teachers and other members of staff to find out what goes on inside and outside of the classroom; and we'll chat to current pupils, to get an insider's view on the school and life within it. In less than 30 minutes, we'll bring you a detailed portrait of each school and help you work out what makes it stand out from the crowd. In this episode we visit Felsted School in Essex. We talk to headmaster Chris Townsend, pupils, teachers and housemasters. Curious? Then take a listen below!
