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.

In this episode, Laura Hurrell and Emma Slade from Peterborough Virtual School consider how are the specific needs of children known to social care are considered within the curriculum:
- How can the curriculum be trauma-proofed?
- How are particular curriculum ‘hotspots’ within History, RE, RSE, PSHE, Science, English and assemblies are considered?
- How are positive role models of care-experienced adults are embedded within the curriculum?
