@latin_tutoring @daisychristo Thank you so much!
I had great fun recording two episodes on the subject of my doctoral thesis on pupil rebellions with @daisychristo podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pup…
Part Two is available here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pup…
Great you have got this out there, Daisy. I loved the conversations we had about this seminal Act. Can hardly believe it’s 80 years ago…which makes my book about it 30 years ago!
Lessons from History is back tomorrow with the 1st of a 2-part special on the 80th anniversary of the Butler Act. It's a landmark piece of edu legislation & embeds the grammar / sec modern divide. Find out the history behind it. Featuring a special guest - @MichaelBarber9
To find out more listen to our latest episode on the origins of A-Levels podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/les…
Just had the privilege of looking at a friend’s National Record of Achievement - it included her cycling proficiency certificate!
@daisychristo My Gran failed French in 1934 as part of her school certificate despite doing well in the others. Officially she left school with no qualifications. She often talked about how unfair the system was.
Our next podcast episode is out tomorrow - first of a 2-parter on what we did before A-levels. Find out about the Higher School Certificate - the inter-war qualification for 18 year olds which has a bit in common with the new Advanced British Standard. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/les…
Our interview with Patrick Derham, former Head Master of Rugby and Westminster on the challenges facing the independent sector is now available podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/les…
Latest Lessons from History is on school absenteeism. But we also talk about the heyday of local government, when infrastructure projects came in under budget & ahead of schedule & the surplus was spent on statues celebrating local government. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/abs…
I quite like those bits too!
@daisychristo @latin_tutoring My favourite bits are when Daisy remembers to breathe in, and Elizabeth gets a chance
Our next episode goes live tomorrow morning - with fun tangents on taxidermy, huel and effective altruism. Subscribe now to be the first to download: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/les…
@tombennett71 A dangerous insight as I prepare to edit the next few episodes!
Our second episode on Building Schools in the Past is now live. We talk to structural engineer, Fiona Cobb, about why RAAC is more Crunchie than Aero and the reason new school buildings don’t look like this anymore. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/les…
This is just not the case. 1. These schools were built well after the Industrial Rev. 2. Their architect (ER Robson) disliked corridors as they impeded light & air. 3. He also created bigger classrooms (not "cells") for same reason.
The schools of the Industrial Revolution. Corridors and cells. Lining up & bells. Blackboards, chalk and rigid rows of desks.
Our new episode on school buildings is out now!
If you live in England, there's a good chance you'll know a school building like this. Thousands still exist. How did they come about, and how are they still going strong when so many newer schools are not? Our latest podcast episode explains it all. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/bui…
New podcast episode out tomorrow! It's on Miss Buss & Miss Beale, Victorian pioneers of girls' education. They founded famous schools, argued for girls to take exams & invented the term head mistress. Were they as stern as in these photos? Listen & find out! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/les…
A rather personal episode of the podcast will be appearing on Friday morning - follow here to be the first to listen when it drops: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/les…
@buckingham_j My friend John Willow composed the music for us specially. It’s definitely distinctive! It reminds me a lot of the themes of educational films made for use in schools in the 80s and 90s, which seems apposite.
