OM DENNE EPISODE
Continuing our special multi-part series exploring school structures, we turn our attention from single-sex education to the power and practice of co-education.
In this episode, host Helen Stanton-Tonner is joined by Sue Knox, Head of Duke of Kent School, and current Chair of the Independent Schools Association, who brings a fascinating dual perspective after leading both high-performing single-sex schools in Australia and thriving co-educational communities in the UK.
Together, Helen and Sue explore what makes co-education more than just putting boys and girls in the same building. They discuss how to intentionally cultivate confidence, challenge stereotypes, foster genuine respect, and borrow the best strategies from single-sex settings to ensure every pupil flourishes.
Tune in to discover why it’s not the structure of the school that matters most, but what you do within it.
