ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Schools Week, we launched a special podcast series, Turning the Pages on a Decade of Education Reform. This series featured in-depth interviews with some of the most influential figures behind key education reforms over the past decade. From policymakers and advisors to school leaders and teachers, our guests shared insights into how these policies were shaped, their successes and challenges, and the lessons we can take forward.
The series received fantastic feedback, so we’re excited to announce that the Schools Week Podcast will continue! While episodes won’t follow a weekly schedule, we’ll publish new interviews and special features whenever we have the chance to interview leading voices and influencers in education.
Episodes will be hosted by Schools Week reporters, bringing you thought-provoking conversations and fresh perspectives on the future of schools and education in the UK.
Don’t miss an episode—stay tuned for updates and listen in for expert analysis, inspiring stories, and more!
