Are boarding schools reaching the end of the road?

To contact your MP to get them to attend the House of Commons screening please visit here: https://seenheard.org.uk/boarding-on-insanity-parliamentary-screening/

In today’s episode, I reflect on last week’s conference honouring Dr Joy Schaverien and share surprising insights from conversations with people working inside the current boarding school system. Many schools appear to be moving into survival mode — and the strategies they’re using may be accelerating their decline.

We look at:

• Why prep schools are being pushed back into the pipeline
• How trauma patterns influence leadership decisions
• Why emotional intelligence is the future of education
• What AI, neuroscience and attachment theory reveal about outdated schooling models
• The growing national movement calling for child safety and systemic reform

With a major screening of Boarding on Insanity inside the Houses of Parliament this January, momentum is shifting fast. The next decade may bring profound change to how we educate and protect children.

If this episode resonates, please share it — and consider writing to your MP using the link in the show notes. Change happens when we act together.
