Show Notes

Greg is Head of Languages and EAL at Burnage Academy for Boys, a school rated 'Outstanding' by Ofsted in 2018 with particular praise for the school's work to promote pupils' personal development and welfare.  

Greg is passionate about supporting young people and implementing intervention strategies to support those experiencing emotional, social or behavioural difficulties. He has led on whole-school health and wellbeing policy and is previously a winner of the Manchester Public Health Award for Emotional Health and Well-Being (2015) and Highly Commended in Sex & Relationship Education (2014 & 2015). 

In this episode, Greg talks about his inspirational projects such as 'Multilingual Streets' a Manchester-based initiative carried out in collaboration with the University of Manchester and the University of Sheffield - one of many projects that celebrates diversity and sees students' language and culture as gifts to be nurtured and encouraged.  

By demonstrating the impact of these projects, Greg shows us how policies and practice can be adapted to ensure that excellence and achievement is within the reach of all our students, along with a sense of belonging and wellbeing  when we invest in the things that make a difference.
