About Heads Unscripted
From the publisher's feed
A fresh new chapter: introducing Heads Unscripted: Education Uncovered.
We are giving our podcast a refresh.
When we first started, our focus was clear. We invited senior school heads to talk about their schools, their ethos and what life might look like for pupils who joined them. Those conversations have been hugely valuable for many Hurlingham families and others who are exploring senior school options.
Over time, though, the conversations have started to widen. We have found ourselves talking less about individual prospectuses and more about leadership, philosophy and the bigger questions facing education today. What should school feel like for children growing up now. How do we lead with purpose in a time of pressure and change. What are the real challenges facing our sector and where might the answers come from.
It feels like the right moment for the podcast to evolve too.
Our series is now called Heads Unscripted: Education uncovered.
The new name reflects the direction we are already travelling in. Heads Unscripted keeps our focus on people who lead, think and influence in education, but it frees us from simply asking heads to talk about their own schools. Education uncovered signals our intention to get under the surface of the issues, ideas and stories that are shaping children’s lives in classrooms today.
You will still hear from senior school heads, but you will also hear from prep and primary leaders, researchers, psychologists, policymakers and others who care deeply about where education is heading. We want to unlock some of the challenges our sector is facing, explore what is working, and share those conversations with a wider audience than parents who are just at the senior school decision stage.
This is a refresh rather than a complete reboot. The tone will remain open, thoughtful and practical. What changes is the scope. Heads Unscripted: Education uncovered will give us room to explore leadership, wellbeing, curriculum, community, AI, adolescence and more, while keeping the experience of children at the heart of every episode.
Thank you for listening so far and for growing with us. We are excited about this next chapter and hope you will continue to join the conversation.
