Education Review: How would God assess our pupils?
A new review of England’s curriculum is recommending fewer exams and a greater focus on life skills and “enrichment.” But how might these changes shape our children’s futures and prospects? And how would God assess our intellect and achievements? Headteacher David Bedford and tutor Chris Follett speak to Esther Higham.
Do stained-glass windows offer us a glimpse of God's glory?
Janet Gough OBE, architectural historian and author of the new book Divine Light, joins Esther Higham to explore how stained-glass windows can help us encounter and appreciate God.
