Notas del episodio
In this episode, Nick’s great friend and former colleague David Pyle speaks to him about one of the great passions of his life: education.
They explore his experiences working in independent boarding schools, Uppingham and Haileybury, and what he makes of the world of private education in the 21st century.
They then discuss Nick’s mid-life career change to work in the charitable and not-for-profit sector, and what he himself has learnt from leaving schools to work on expanding access to cricket to state school pupils, rehabilitating prisoners and getting homeless people back on their feet.
Finally, they discuss Nick’s prescription for a 21st century education - based around character - and the importance of being a ‘maverick’.
