About 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.

S01 E09 Special Educational Needs and Disabilities: Everybody's Business

SEND and Inclusion Services in Peterborough have a specific remit to help our children and young people to achieve their potential and overcome barriers their additional needs may present to them and their educational settings. In this episode Alex West and Lisa Hatfield have a conversation with Gemma Mead, Peterborough's Area SENCo. Together they explore the complexities of the SEND system and how those supporting children known to social care can navigate it.

S01 E05 Transitions and Admissions: Navigating Change, Beginnings and Endings

In today's episode, Gina Hayes and Amanda Jones from our Inclusion and Engagement team discuss the range of transitions which children may experience throughout their educational journeys - the big ones such as primary to secondary and also the smaller ones, such as moving from learning time to break time and back again. They explore the considerations which need to be undertaken if a change of school is needed and explain why change can be difficult in some circumstances.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
