Building grant setbacks, energy, governance
In this episode of the podcast Callum Mason discusses two major scoops focusing firstly on the huge swathe of schools that are repeatedly being rejected for funding to improve dilapidated buildings and secondly around data that shows no schools used the energy switch service in the first three months of the year.
Then Grainne Hallahan discusses pieces on governance on Tes this week and why schools need to think hard about the make-up of their governing body to ensure they have the right expertise on hand when required.
Customer Reviews
Good content
The sound quality makes this unlistenable at times. It would be wonderful if you could sort this out. There were dogs barking over a recent episode and one person has a device with notifications pinging regularly!
Could definitely do better
With constant break-ups, pings, cut-outs, volume changes, talking over one another etc this has the production values of a Year 9 RE cover lesson. I know we’re in difficult times, but from a tech point of view, this is the worst remote conversation podcast I’ve heard.
Also as a first time listener - who are these people? Journalists? Teachers? Parents? Surely a basic introduction, beyond names, isn’t too much to ask for.
A shame since the chat was fairly interesting.
Hmmm
Some interesting topics but the views are too often conservative and traditional. Typical in British education unfortunately.
