#011 -Welcome back to the Reading Blues Podcast, the place to find out more about the school and to connect with staff, pupils and parents at a deeper level. Each week we’ll be interviewing people within the school community, asking them questions and spending time understanding more about them and more about the school.
In this episode we’re back speaking with Headmaster Pete Thomas. The new academic year is well and truly underway but I still wanted to know what he got up to in the summer holidays, how much downtime a Head really gets when those eight weeks of summer begin, but we spend most of this podcast talking about what’s happening in the next three school terms.
And not just what’s happening but why those things are happening and even how. Intrigued? Well, you should be. So let me take you into the Headmaster’s office to spend 20 minutes with Pete Thomas.

In this episode we step into the Headmaster’s office and speak to Pete Thomas. We’re about to find out how his first year as Headmaster has been, how he’s coped being a Head during Covid and what some of the common misconceptions are about the role of Headmaster. But we also find out what he likes to do when he’s not at school, and whether or not he enjoys 80s music. What do you think?

Adventure education! With Stephen Lamacraft ⛺️

#012 - Welcome back to the Reading Blues Podcast, the place to find out more about the school and to connect with staff, pupils and parents at a deeper level. Each week we’ll be interviewing people within the school community, asking them questions and spending time understanding more about them and more about the school.
This episode is all about the outdoors because we’re talking to Stephen Lamacraft, Director of Adventure Education (possibly the coolest job title in the world!) So, we’re going to hear all about why outdoor education is so good for children today, what parents can do to encourage their children, how you don’t need to go to some far-flung country to experience adventure and how a move in the school to co-educational all the way through will change things. Or won’t change things. Stick around to see what that answer is.
But for now, come with me and let’s find out more about adventure education with Stephen Lamacraft.
