As part of our ongoing commitment to the Next Gen Curriculum, with its strong emphasis on oracy and real-world skill development, this week’s podcast episode features an inspiring interview with Mrs. Cooper, Headteacher.

Podcasting is fast becoming a powerful tool in our oracy strategy—empowering students to find and use their voices while building confidence, creativity, and essential digital skills. Through planning, recording, and editing their own episodes, learners engage in meaningful communication and gain hands-on experience with technology in a purposeful way.

More than just a creative outlet, this initiative nurtures collaboration, critical thinking, and media literacy. It brings the Next Gen Curriculum to life by embedding communication and tech fluency into everyday learning—equipping our young people with the tools they need to succeed in a digital and connected world.
