About this episode

NEW PODCAST EPISODE! On The Sofa with British Mums - Episode 15 with Heather Harries from The Education Hub.
In this week’s podcast, we are joined by Heather Harries from The Education Hub and Catherine and Emma from British Mums to chat about education, from school choices and exam prep to wellbeing and inclusion. Cat talks about education being the biggest gift she can give her child and how daunting choosing a school can be when moving over from the UK, whilst Emma chats about energy and getting that “feeling” when you look at schools. Heather Harries, our education guru, talks about tutoring, SEN in education, choosing a school based on your child’s needs and strengths and our attitude to education. Heather also talks about exam stress and prep, as well as the pressure put on our children and how to ensure we’re making the right decisions for them. We hope you love this podcast as much as we do, please share your thoughts at podcast@britishmums.com.
