Today I'm at the Independent Schools Show in Battersea, David Wellesley Wesley's event where parents come to meet school Heads, Marketing and Admissions people.
It's my favourite time of the year and I love seeing what's happening in the school marketing sector.
So come with me as we step inside and find out what it's like at the Independent Schools Show 2023.

Today I'm at the BBSW with Suzanne Rowse and a large number of schools and agents. I'd never been here before so I was keen to know how it works and what it's actually like inside.

Today we have Irfan Latif, Principal of DLD College London. You probably know who he is, I don’t want to embarrass the guy, but whenever anything is happening in the world of independent schools Irfan is probably involved in it at least to some level.
He’s a nomination for the Tatler Best Head of a Public School award along with, I must say, some fairly stiff competition, but more importantly, Irfan, I think you’ll agree, is just one of the nicest people who works in the independent schools sector.
So I was delighted when we got a date in the diary to record this. It’s fun, it’s informal, it’s Irfan Latif.

Today we have a Director of Marketing with us, it’s Fane Henderson and he’s at The Leys School in Cambridgeshire.
Fane and I know each other from when he was at Bedford Modern School before he joined The Leys but we also catch up at the AMCIS conference each year which is a great opportunity to catch up with various people.
That said, there was still so much I didn’t know about Fane so talking to him in this podcast is a great way to talk about non-work things.
So let’s not waste anymore time but instead come with me as we speak to Director of Marketing, Fane Henderson.

Now today I’m with a Headteacher. Alison Melrose is the Head at Cameron Vale in London, it’s a Prep School, it’s in the centre of London and we talk about city life vs country life.
But we also talk about what Alison does when she’s not in school, we talk about Strictly Heads, an event that was happening a few months ago that sounds like it was oodles of fun, we talk about being a busy parent and many other things in between.
Alison is lovely and if you know her you’ll know she’s very well connected in the independent schools sector.
So let’s not fluff about. Come with me as we speak to the delightful, the respectable, the admirable, Alison Melrose.

Now today I’m talking to Miles Latham, co-founder of Affixxius and someone you probably know if you work in the independent schools sector.
I get to ask Miles about what he would do if he wasn’t working in film or working with schools. I wasn’t expecting the answer he gave, I can tell you that! But we also talked about LinkedIn, other social media, what he enjoys doing when he’s not in a school and three of his favourite places in the world.
We also find out how many films Miles has watched in his life so take a guess now to see if you’re anywhere close to what the actual number is.
That’s all coming up in the next 30 ish minutes so come with me as we step into a conversation with the co-founder of Affixxius, Miles Latham.

#33 - Welcome back to ‘I’d Rather be at the Beach’, brought to you by me. I’m Simon and I run The Bonjour Agency.
Today's episode is a little different, I'm talking on my own (well, it's still summer holidays) and I bring to you some stories, some thoughts, some things I'm into right now too.
But I'd love to know more about you and what you've been up to. My email address is below so do please let me know what you've been doing over the summer break.
And maybe also let me know the latest film, music and book you're into. I'd love to know :)

Now today I’m talking to Nicholas McKie, he runs Persyou Ltd, a business that offers coaching programmes to individuals and teams and he does a lot of work in the independent schools sector so you may have seen him on LinkedIn.
I’d never met Nick before this recording but I was keen to talk to him because he runs his own business and I know that some of the people listening to this wouldn’t mind leaving the school they work in and running their own business too. But what I didn’t expect was to find out all the different things Nick’s done in his life, what else he does today when he’s not working and that might give an insight into the kind of person he is.
But don’t just take this from me, instead you can listen to the man himself so let’s jump into this episode of I’d Rather be at the Beach as we talk to Nicholas McKie.

Today we have a great guest, I’ve really been looking forward to this. David Harkin is the CEO of 8billionideas, a business that’s on a mission to give students the skills and belief to change the world. You’ve probably seen him on social media, usually delivering a keynote speech somewhere in the world on maybe on TV, he’s been on various news programmes.
Anyway, we break the rules slightly here by spending a few minutes talking about work, not so that David can sell 8billionideas to you but because I wanted to ask him about starting a business because some of you listening to this right now would also like to leave where you work and do your own thing, follow your own mission. So to understand a smidge about David’s business, what they do, is a helpful thing when applying that to your own life.
So we talk about David leaving IBM to start this, running a business while having young children, we talk about running, we talk about dogs, it’s a great recording and I think you’re going to love it.
So come with me now as we dive into this recording and speak to the CEO of 8billionideas, it’s David Harkin.

Now today I’m at the Independent Schools Show Summer Fair at the Hurlingham Club in London. It’s a beautiful sunny day, I’ve hopped off the train and I’m about to walk in to find out what’s going on here. So come with me as we find out how everyone’s getting on at this year’s Summer Fair.
