Edufuturists #231 More Than Results with Will Goldsmith

Feb 26, 2024
01:00:44

In this episode, we are joined by Will Goldsmith, Head of Bedales School.

This was fascinating. We covered:

  • Removing unnecessary hierarchies
  • Promoting student agency and responsibility
  • Co-curating a community WITH students
  • Developing value to the wider educational system
  • Preparing students in school for specific academic curricula
  • Bringing your authentic self to your work

Will and his team announced last year about scaling down GCSEs in their school. It won’t take a rocket science to realise that this resonated with me & Steve! This has been mischaracterised as scrapping exams or arrogant ‘you must do what we do’ proselytising. The link to one of the articles is here.

Thanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you. Ben & Steve x Championing those who are making the future of education a reality.
