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.

    Sarah will tell us all about Rainbow Flag Award, what it is, why it is that Reading Blue Coat has applied and what it means to Sarah.

    But we’ll also get to hear from some of the students, how they have been involved with the Rainbow Flag Award application and what is like being part of the LGBT+ community.

    This episode is great, the students and Sarah are very passionate about the Rainbow Flag Award and the LGBT+ community within the school, they open up about the challenges faced, the focus on inclusion and diversity and how things are changing.

  • 17 - The struggles and successes of online learning with Head of Physics, Benjamin Schuler

    #016 - 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 going online and finding out about the future of education with the Head of Physics at the school, Benjamin Schuler. Now, fun fact, Reading Blue Coat was one of the schools that was already looking at online learning before the pandemic arrived which means they were naturally in a good place to make that rapid switch back in 2020. Not that it came without its issues though, something that Benjamin talks about in this episode.

    So we get to hear what challenges they faced, how it all worked at school (especially in the Physics department) and what the opportunities were that came as a result of this.

    So enough chit chat from me, let me take you into this episode right now as we speak to Head of Physics, Benjamin Schuler.
