Welcome to REV. It’s the podcast that brings values to life through the people who live by them.

My policy from day one has been only to invite people I really want to chat to. To keep our conversations easy-going. To give my guests the opportunity to open up in a safe space.

The result? I think you’ll enjoy it.

These podcasts are a pleasure to listen to, full of things you won’t have heard before, offer some great life lessons and have loads of personality.

With four more interviews happening in the next month or so – oh, and my goodness, these ones are going to be TERRIFIC – now’s the time to give REV a follow.

Be amongst the first to hear these “… very easy and very enjoyable” chats. (Thanks to Roisin Currie for the plaudit!)

“Once you get over yourself,” says Matt King, headmaster of Great Ballard School, you can have “the joy of appointing people who are so much better than you.”

And it's that view that permeates his approach to colleagues, students and family – of every type. He is a headteacher who has an open door policy, celebrates fun, encourages brave thinking, even finds himself proud of a pupil protest. His values are legacies from his parents with an extra one on top, and are things he treasures, nurtures and consciously refers to in times of uncertainty.

We spoke about the values that have helped him take some quite radical steps in education of children from ages 2-16, balancing the necessary disciplines of the curriculum with some quite unusual approaches to lifelong learning.

The business has values stitched through it, and we explore how these relate to her own personal values.
