Education, Aspiration, Success
Welcome to the Peterborough Virtual School podcast!
Our vision is that all children known to social care will achieve educational outcomes enabling them to lead happy, healthy and fulfilled lives.
Hosted by our very own team alongside those with lived and learned experiences, this podcast is designed to help and support anyone navigating the world of education on behalf of the children they support . We explore how some of the typical barriers faced by this cohort of children can be minimised and how to maximise opportunities to ensure full educational potential is reached for each and every child.

S01 E03 A Right to Education: A journey through our education system
In this episode, Fran Haunch and Emma Slade from Peterborough Virtual School's Partnership and Outcomes team are joined by Peterborough's Service Director for Education, Carrie Traill.
Fran, Emma and Carrie consider children's rights to education and explore the vision of high quality, full-time and well-matched education for all children and young people in Peterborough.
They follow the education journey from nursery into primary school and then secondary school - explaining some of the key milestones along the way. They then discuss the different pathways young people may choose to follow at 16 and beyond.
