#009 - Welcome to the Berkhamsted Spotlight, Berkhamsted School's podcast channel. Join our weekly guests from inside the classroom to behind-the-scenes of our day-to-day activities through to life beyond Berkhamsted. Find out what it's really like to be part of our remarkable community.

In this episode of the Berkhamsted Spotlight we’re talking to Tracey Evans, Chief People Officer at Berkhamsted, and Dr Kathy Weston from Tooled Up Education.

Tracey is part of the Schools Executive and she’s the Designated Safeguarding Lead for the Prep Schools. Her role means she’s involved in the pastoral strategy and implementation at Berkhamsted. Meanwhile, Kathy holds a Masters and Doctorate in Philosophy and worked for many years as a policy researcher and research fellow in education. She’s also the co-author of two books on “Engaging Parents” (Bloomsbury, 2018; 2020) and she’s a much sought-after keynote speaker.

Which is why we’re going to be looking at pastoral care at Berkhamsted, why it’s so important for young people today, what the parent partnership is and some of the things parents can do at home during the summer holiday to support the efforts of staff at the school.
