Welcome back!

This week, we discuss what makes an “amazing” teacher.

What things are always needed… Is there anything that is a bit of a gimmick?

Building relationships, subject knowledge, fancy classrooms…. What really matters?

Let us know if we missed anything… We probably did…

Drop us a review & follow the podcast!

The Tories have been decimated.

Gillian Keegan has been booted out.

Two lovely sentences!

We reflect on the election result, talk about the line between being a fun teacher but also doing the job effectively, and share general tips on how to survive gruelling term 6.

We were pretty unhinged in this one.... Hope you enjoy it!

We are joined by Alastair Campbell, ex-advisor to Tony Blair in the New Labour government & host of the number 1 podcast in the UK "The Rest Is Politics".

Alastair has written two books aimed at school children with the aim of doing what sometimes seems impossible.... getting them interested in politics.

We talk about lowering the voting age, why all politicians aren't the same & what there is to be optimistic about in the current climate with the potential of a new government.

You can find Alastair's books here:

You can tell we've been away on holiday for a week because this episode is particularly scatty!

We reflected on taking our babies away for a week, how many Kripsy Kremes we consumed in a week & the importance of sports day all within one episode......

The bulk of the episode was a reflection about how to balance parenting and teaching. It was a good one!

Join us this week as we dive into a hypothetical situation in which the next government SCRAP the current national curriculum and start again.

Would this be a good idea?

What would the pros and cons be?

Is it even likely to happen?

Well... here we go. It's general election time which means Dylan becomes insufferable! (Can you guess who wrote this description?)

Join two teachers talk about all things politics and education!

We also reflect on the 2024 SATs paper, highlighting some of the trickier / WRONG questions that appeared this year.

Join us as we chat with Kate about all things modern foreign languages (MFL) and her story of starting a successful education business.

We also touch on the Hutchinson school outrage after being contacted by an angry parent.

Oh, and skip the first ten minutes unless you'd like to hear Hayden rant about the broken dental system...
