Sharing perspectives not only provides fuel for further personal consideration but, in the process of conversation, can also refine our own understanding of subject matter. We have begun the process of sharing community stories and thoughts via our own ‘Let’s Talk’ podcasts and this series hopes to build on the first two instalments on that link in the coming weeks and months.
If there is any member of the community who would be willing to speak to pupils or teachers and create further editions of the podcast, please email psb@bryanston.co.uk
