Our 87th interview is with Lucia and Will, from Wolgarston High School in the West Midlands. Lucia and Will are head girl and head boy studying for their A-levels at sixth form. In this podcast, listen to Lucia and Will and Teacher Toolkit founder, Ross McGill discuss their initial reactions to lockdown, exam uncertainty and media speculation. How they have developed a routine building around lockdown and how has the pandemic has affected their friends and community.
We ask them both about America’s reaction to George Floyd’s murder and how they use social media as a credible news source, how they manage their expectations of social media as young person and how their school is supporting them during this period. We also explore race and education reforms Lucia and Will would like adults to make.
Wolgarston High School is a mixed, 13-19 year secondary school in England. Thanks to headteacher, Jo Fairclough, for making this happen... Thanks for listening.
