Looking Beyond London | ISS Summer Fair 2025

In this episode of the Independent Schools Show podcast, Melanie Sanderson from The Good Schools Guide chairs a conversation with senior leaders from three top schools outside the capital:

Gavin Horgan, Head of Millfield (Somerset), John Maguire, Head of Bishop’s Stortford College (Hertfordshire), and Heather Beeby, Deputy Director of Admissions at Lancing College (Sussex).

Together, they explore how families are rethinking the London-centric mindset and what it’s really like to live and learn beyond the M25.

From commuting and boarding options to community life and space to grow, this episode sheds light on the practical and pastoral benefits of choosing a school outside the city.
