In this episode, we sit down with John Westwell MBE of the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics to explore what it means to teach maths Christianly. Drawing on years of experience and his involvement with the Stapleford Centre’s early work on spiritual and moral development in the curriculum, John reflects on how mathematics points to the order, consistency, and beauty of God’s creation. We discuss how a Christian worldview shapes both what we teach and how we teach—moving beyond clichés to a thoughtful engagement with number, reason and pedagogy.

"Truth, Grace, and the PSHE Lesson: Talking Porn in Schools"

In an age where explicit material is more easily available than ever, we explore how Christian teachers can navigate the challenging task of addressing pornography in schools. How do we hold firm to biblical convictions in a permissive culture, while avoiding both naivety and fear-driven messaging? Joined by Ian and Mandy from The Naked Truth project, we look at how to speak with clarity and compassion, work within school frameworks, and support students pastorally—all while pointing to the lasting hope, healing, and identity found in Christ. Whether you're tackling this topic in PSHE, safeguarding, or through informal conversations, this episode tackles the issue head-on.

The Naked Truth project: Established in 2013 in Manchester UK, by Ian Henderson, Naked Truth Project set out to open eyes & free lives from the damaging impact of pornography through awareness, education and recovery programmes.

Lizzie speaks with Paul Harrison from Christian Safeguarding Services about how Christian teachers and school staff can uphold a truly biblical approach to their most vital duty: keeping children safe. What does the Bible say about protecting the weak and vulnerable? Where might a Christian perspective on safeguarding differ from contemporary cultural narratives around risk? And how can our attitude reflect a genuine Christlike concern for students' safety, rather than seeing it as an 'additional burden'?

Smartphones in schools are making headlines, with some parents and educators increasingly calling for stricter, enforceable rules across the UK. We clearly need to address the negative effects of screens on kids, but should teachers be responsible for enforcing these decisions? Can we find a balanced strategy that limits harm while promoting responsible freedom? And is there a distinctly Christian perspective on this issue?

In this episode, Lizzie Harewood talks with Fulham Boys' School headteacher Dave Smith and deputy head Sam Brown about their recent decision to ban smartphones entirely. With practical strategies like "dumb" phones and Yondr pouches, they discuss whether schools can create healthier, more focused environments, and whether a Biblical rationale has impacted their decision to take this step.

The study of history is more than a collection of factual information like events, names and dates. History is a story, and it is a story that must be interpreted. The landscape of historical interpretation is ever-evolving, and differing cultural perspectives often compete to dominate the narrative. How do we, as Christian teachers, navigate this complex terrain while remaining true to a Biblical understanding and explanation of the world? 

Join Lizzie in conversation with two current history teachers as we consider how we can bring glory to God in our classrooms.
