Resilience – with special guest Mr Magoo Giles, Principal of Knightsbridge School

S12:E2 - Welcome to the Downe House podcast, where you can learn more about Downe House School.

 In this series, we're shining a light on our feeder schools and looking at how they prepare their girls for their future at down house with over 180 schools who regularly send pupils to us. Girls come to us with varied experiences, but all prepared for the journey ahead with an established set of values and principles. It's our job then to build on them further.

Joining us on the podcast this week is Mr. Magoo Giles, Founder and Principal of Knightsbridge School. Two Knightsbridge alumni, now well into their time at Downe House, Freya and Alice, and Ruth Kingston, Housemistress of AGS.

They talk to our host, Simon Jones, and their springboard for conversation is resilience.
