Education. Elevated. | A Podcast by Avenues The World School

In this episode of Education. Elevated., we sit down with Sammy Wright (@sammywrightwrites)—UK educator, headteacher, and author of Exam Nation—to explore the impact of standardized testing, educational inequality, and what truly supports student success.

Hosted by Todd Shy, Head of School at Avenues New York, this conversation unpacks the following:

• Why exams fail the students who need the most support.
• What schools can do to build more equitable systems.
• Lessons from over 20 years in UK classrooms and leadership.
• The story behind Sam’s novel Fit, winner of the Northern Book Prize.
