Oundle Voices is a podcast exploring the ideas shaping education and young people’s lives today. In each episode we look beyond headlines and examination results to consider the fuller purpose of education: how we help young people become resilient, curious, ambitious and open minded, how they find belonging, and how we prepare them for a future we cannot yet fully see. Grounded in experience yet outward looking in perspective, Oundle Voices contributes to the wider national conversation about how we help young people grow up well.

    Learning languages in a changing world

    Sam Thater, Head of Modern Foreign Languages at Oundle, reflects on his own journey into languages and why the subject matters now more than ever.  With fewer young people in the UK choosing languages, the conversation explores some of the reasons behind the decline. It also considers what may be lost if the trend continues, and what helps sustain interest in language learning in schools today. Sam talks about the confidence, resilience and cultural awareness that come from learning a language, and why it is about far more than vocabulary and grammar.  An honest discussion about education, opportunity, and the role languages continue to play in a more connected and uncertain world

    The power of a good book

    In this episode of Oundle Voices, Head Dominic Oliver and Head Librarian Andrea Kimball reflect on the power of books in the National Year of Reading.  Together they explore why reading remains central to education and to personal growth. From the joy of discovering a good book to the role of families, schools and libraries in shaping lifelong habits, the conversation ranges widely. They discuss the importance of reading for pleasure, the balance between guidance and freedom in what young people choose to read, and the ways technology, audiobooks and graphic novels are reshaping how we engage with stories.  At its heart, this is a conversation about why reading matters. Not simply as an academic skill, but as something that deepens empathy, strengthens community and opens up the world.
