Edufuturists #231 More Than Results with Will Goldsmith

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.
