Charlotte Prendergast of Southside Young Leaders Academy on PecKHAM PODCAST


Recommended Posts

One person said the following about the PECKHAM PODCAST series:

"You seem to know and interview some extraordinary souls, uncovering their life stories, journeys and challenges they've faced along the way, which in turn helps us understand something more about the world we live in."

Charlotte is definitely worth catching.

Today BBC carry a story on their website saying the Education system is broken.

"Government statistics released on Thursday found that a growing number of parents have withdrawn their children from mainstream education in England. An estimated 111,700 children are being home-educated, a 20% rise since last year. Around 23% say their reasons are a result of lifestyle, philosophical or preferential choices, such as religious or cultural beliefs or a rejection of an exam-based education. 13% of families now say they made this decision because of school dissatisfaction, including special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and school bullying. 14% say it is due to their child's mental health.

PECKHAM PODCAST recent guest Charlotte Prendergast who runs SYLA in Peckham to aid struggling Black boys is really worth catching.
