Let's Talk Warwickshire Podcast: Going back to school

Warwickshire County Council’s podcast series promotes meaningful conversations on topics that impact Warwickshire residents and has to date featured subjects such as healthy exercise, economic help for businesses and support for young people with SEND.

They share a range of tips to help young people acclimatise to a new school, both before September and in the crucial first weeks as well as explore options available post A-Level for those not going down the route of a university.

Subjects include admissions, attendance, school transport, school meals, post-16 education and apprenticeships.

Cllr Kam Kaur, Warwickshire County Council’s portfolio holder for Education, said: “Warwickshire County Council is committed to ensuring that all our children and young people have the best possible education and that, as they learn, that they are happy, healthy and safe. Our dedicated team of professionals at the county council does so much that underpins the amazing work that our schools do.

“This podcast features tips and advice from some of that team and could really help parents and carers to have the best possible return to school for their children and, indeed, themselves. And for those young people who have finished with school and are looking to make the next step, there’s some really valuable guidance.”
