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 E09 Special Educational Needs and Disabilities: Everybody's Business
SEND and Inclusion Services in Peterborough have a specific remit to help our children and young people to achieve their potential and overcome barriers their additional needs may present to them and their educational settings.
In this episode Alex West and Lisa Hatfield have a conversation with Gemma Mead, Peterborough's Area SENCo. Together they explore the complexities of the SEND system and how those supporting children known to social care can navigate it.
