Learn - Aspire - Thrive - Achieve
Welcome to the Cambridgeshire Virtual School podcast! Our vision is that all children who have or have had a social worker, including children in care and children previously in care, are enabled to learn, aspire, thrive and achieve. Hosted by our very own team alongside those with lived and learned experiences, we consider how to maximise opportunity to ensure full educational potential is reached. We explore factors affecting the educational journeys of the children we support and how some of the typical barriers faced by this cohort of children can be minimised.

In this episode Edwina and John are joined by Laura Jenkins, the Virtual school's post-16 and careers lead alongside Mark Cowdell, Cambridgeshire's countywide NEET manager.
We know that the risk of becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training) is higher for children in care and care leavers. So how can we mitigate against this? Laura and Mark advocate driving high aspirations right through from early years and primary education.
