The Soul of Education

✓

Claim

We have built a system that measures everything a child can do and almost nothing of who they are becoming. We test knowledge and neglect character. We track progress and lose sight of purpose. Then we wonder why so many young people reach adulthood capable but quietly lost. The Soul of Education brings conversations about what we left out.

Each episode, Dr James Biddulph MBE, CEO of Avanti Schools Trust, sits down with educators, scientists, artists and thinkers who are asking the harder question: not how do we raise attainment, but how do we raise well-rounded human beings. 

This is not nostalgia, and it is not criticism from the sidelines. It is a serious attempt to put the inner life back at the centre of schooling, grounded in the work of running real schools.
