GCSE results day has brought a mixed picture; the pass rate has fallen, yet the regional gap has reduced and the gender gap is the narrowest it has ever been. Isabel Hardman and Sir Nick Gibb, former Conservative schools minister, join James Heale to discuss education policy, how changing cultural expectations may be helping the gender gap and why Labour seem determined to attack the Conservatives' record on education. In Nick's words, is Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson a ‘more political figure than education figure'?Plus: how the recent High Court ruling over migrant hotels could spark a crisis for the government as more councils, including Labour-controlled ones, seek an end to the policy.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

This week, we chat about how in so many schools, creativity is disappearing in two major ways.Firstly, the arts themselves are languishing. Huge drops in children taking subejcts at GCSE like drama and music. Why is this happening and why is it bad?Secondly, in the classroom itself. Top-down strict rules for every lesson to look the same and fidelity to boring schemes is building a recpie for misery.Get in touch with us through our socials.www.instagram.com/teachsleeprepeatpodcastwww.tiktok.com/teachsleeprepeatpodcast

We're enjoying our summer holidays, but Eden and Asher are pushing on with some of their GCSE studies regardless. Mirabelle's sharing about the paw print badge projects we're doing, we share about a fun trip to Southport and Blackpool, and we look ahead to a trip to the Lake District.

Send us a textOn our latest episode we speak to Agegroup Triathlete Helen McClure.Helen says  "I Have always been sporty, but have found I've needed a reason for sport. Joined the army reserves at 21 and as the only female officer in an infantry regiment had to be fit and provide myself more than the boys. Served for 9 years, mainly supporting the regulars with media operations. First career was newspaper journalism and corporate comms, then 20 years ago retrained as an interior designer. Moved from UK to Chicago to Dubai to Singapore with husband job and adapted work and sport to fit the country and environment. Moved back to UK in 2016 and am still getting used to how cold summer is!Moved from keeping generally fit to marathons, then ultramarathon, but slipped two discs when 8 months pregnant with my first daughter, so could no longer do the longer distances. Triathlon fitted the bill as it's three sports and not too much of any, as long as I keep to short course. The one 70.3 I've done I had to cycling a lot of it standing up to stop my discs from slipping, and still managed to average 30kph!Started triathlon when moved to Dubai 15 years ago. Love hot weather racing. Hate cold weather, especially cold water. Much prefer to swim without a wetsuit (if it's above 25c!).Sport has also given me mental health. My eldest daughter was born with life threatening medical condition, which meant we were travelling to Great Ormond Street Hospital most weeks. I was unable to have a full time job because of this, so exercise was my head space.It's still my head space as my girls are now teenagers doing GCSE and A-level now and my husband commutes from Surrey to York. It's quite a stressful house at the moment!Sport also gives me physical health. I have Crohn's Disease, so get very tired and sleep deprived when I have a flare up. Consistent training offers my body consistency.That all said, I've been doing GB age-group stuff since 2019.You Can Follow us  onYouTube - AMP GBInstagram @amp_1967Facebook : AMPGBfind all our episodes on our websiteWebsite is : https://agegroupmultisportpodcast.buzzsprout.com/email: agegroupmultisportpodcast@gmail.comIf you are an agegroup athlete and would like to come on the pod, get in touch.

The full team (minus the Ginger Whinger) is almost back as normality resumes — just in time to correct last week's chaos. With double quiffs on display, the lads cover defensive upgrades, contract renewals, and whether the backline is finally sorted. There's healthy scepticism over the lack of Premier League experience, plenty of transfer gossip, and a return to everyone's favourite topic: PSR, now with slightly fewer GCSE-level errors.Also on the docket: potential midfield and goalkeeper signings, the return (?) of a forgotten winger, and a strong case made for not signing the fat, ugly version of a certain American striker. There's chat about what Sunderland are up to, whether Leeds have learned from past mistakes, and some bold predictions for title winners and relegation flops.

Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about the family trip to Canada for the finale of Got Talent as well as FIVE tour shows in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. The fancy children did not enjoy their premium economy experience but some people don't want to see kids in business class anyway. 'A Private Audience with BK' has inspired Katherine and Bobby to never host another party as it's too much at once and a few mums took issue with Violet being left in London to write her GCSE exams. Violet stirred up controversy at home posting her thoughts on Chris Brown being granted a VISA by the British Government just to be arrested at the Lowry Hotel in Salford and held in a Manchester prison (lol). Also, Diddy trial updates that come with a severe trigger warning. x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ed Balls and George Osborne, fresh from a break for the Inside the Room Series: The Election that Never Was, jump straight back in with a slew of questions. With George's old mate and former David Cameron adviser Steve Hilton jumping into the Governor's race in California they counsel a stateside Republican voter (and Kitchen Cabinet member) on whether they think he's a good choice. They also mull data sources for parliamentarians. Are there rules on what's fair game when crunching the numbers? Or can you cherry pick and choose as it suits? They turn philosophical: is there ever a point when politics and policy has totally served its purpose? A listener who has been using the show to work up to GCSE studies asks: What's the best way to get across the financial aspect of politics? The pair share their tips on the best ways to build a good political and economic understanding in today's climate.To get episodes early and ad-free, join Political Currency Gold or the Kitchen Cabinet:

Joni Mitchell called it “stoking the star-maker machinery behind the popular song”. Every record sent out for review used to come with a press release knocked together by an over-excited PR before terms like “psychedelia” or “prog” had been invented. They were scanned once for the odd fact or quote and usually chucked in the bin. Richard Morton Jack has tracked down scores of these handouts from 1962-1972, and the news stories they sparked, and published them in the sumptuous ‘Pressing News', a fascinating window into how acts were sold in the days when pop stars liked rump steak, sports cars and “sincere people” but disliked “bad music, traffic wardens and people who say I look like a girl”. We leaf through his book here and talk about …. ... the ingenuity of '60s PRs and why Marc Bolan was a turning point.… Robert Plant and David Bowie's genius for self-promotion.… the pop hopeful whose favourite tipple was tooth-rotting, crystal-based ‘Creamola Foam'.   … how PRs sold rebels and outsiders.   … a £900 Olivia Newton-John press release. … Beta Male pin-ups Nick Drake and Scott Walker. … confected outrage over the Small Faces' Lord's Prayer. … Joe Cocker, eternally a gas-fitter from Sheffield with “a face like the back of a Sheffield Corporation bus”. … mysterious pop acts that never made it like the Virgin Sleep, the Accent, Bread Love & Dreams, Fresh Maggots and the Tickle whose songs were supposedly chosen by computer.  .. the Kinks – “four art students who dress like characters from Dickens”.  … the promotion of pre-psychedelia Pink Floyd – “a lyrical atmosphere whose words express a feeling rather than tell a story.” … “the Zombies have 50 GCSE passes between them!” and other press release fiction trotted out in the papers. … the mass 1966 adoption of the kaftan and Charlie Chan moustache. Order copies of Pressing News here:https://lansdownebooks.com/products/pressing-newsFind out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
