Oundle Voices
Oundle Voices is a podcast exploring the ideas shaping education and young people’s lives today.
In each episode we look beyond headlines and examination results to consider the fuller purpose of education: how we help young people become resilient, curious, ambitious and open minded, how they find belonging, and how we prepare them for a future we cannot yet fully see.
Grounded in experience yet outward looking in perspective, Oundle Voices contributes to the wider national conversation about how we help young people grow up well.
