The most powerful ideas are the ones that leave us with more questions than answers. They challenge assumptions, spark curiosity, and inspire us to look at the world differently.

Hosted by Benjamin Evans, Headmaster of King's College, Taunton, The King's Window shines a light on the ideas, insights and conversations that shape our school and the world beyond.

From the joy of learning and the influence of inspirational teachers, to leadership, education and the opportunities for young people today, each episode explores topics that encourage deeper thinking and that stimulate meaningful discussion.

This is not an academic podcast filled with easy answers. Instead, we venture beyond the obvious, exploring the questions, perspectives and ideas that make us think harder, learn more and engage more deeply with the world around us.

Open the King's window and join the conversation. You may not find all the answers, but you will certainly embrace new ways of thinking.

It has never been easier to be an efficient teacher, but it has perhaps never been harder to be inspirational. The ubiquity of technology promotes the former and often hampers the latter.

In this thought-provoking episode, he shares the story of a teacher who had a profound influence on him, not just on his English grade. He illustrates how great educators shape how young people think, learn and see the world around them.

When parents choose a school, they consider facilities, results, opportunities and reputation. Yet it is the day-to-day interaction within the classroom that the greatest difference is made.
