About this episode

Who you look up to at a young age can shape your world view - so how can schools help kids find good role models? We asked Matthew Pearce, principal of RGSGD, plus sixth form scholar at Repton Al Barsha, Leila El Rafey.

And with smartphone and screen time dangers once again in the headlines, we talked boundary-setting for safety with digital educator Philippa Wraithmail of Edruption.
