'Goodbye HeadStrong listeners' - Neha
May 20, 2022 15:00 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBIt has been such an honour to have been able to create this podcast. For episode seven, you can join me on my last ever episode as I hand over to the brilliant new Head Girl team 2022-2023. I have no doubt they will be absolutely phenomenal. I hope you enjoy our little chat, it's very informal and rather giggly, but I think it's quite sweet. Thank you so much for all of the support, whether you were a listener, a guest or even someone who grabbed me in the corridor to tell me your thoughts...
Special Episode with Mary Edwards!
April 23, 2022 12:58 - 21 minutes - 39.8 MBFor episode 6, we managed to record a very special experience… Mr Greenwood organised a wonderful lunchtime talk with an 'old girl' from Norwich High - Mary Edwards attended our school during the war and told us all about her experiences growing up. She is incredibly spritely and warm, she also has the most incredible memory!! I hope you enjoy the snippet of what was an insightful and captivating talk. Unfortunately, we encountered some technical difficulties which means the audio is a bit...
'You must make the most of them' - Alison Jones
January 29, 2022 09:00 - 13 minutes - 26.3 MBFor episode 5 we are joined by a former Head Girl (from 1957), Alison Jones! She is such a kind and caring woman and I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her. Particularly if you are a student of Norwich High, hearing how we have developed and grown as a school over time is extraordinarily interesting. We really are lucky to attend a school rooted in the empowerment of women and ever broader than that, fighting for all students to make the most of their education, because knowledge truly is power!...
'We need to approach the situation with an open mind' - Erim Kaur
January 23, 2022 10:59 - 17 minutes - 27.3 MBOn episode four of HeadStrong we are joined by Erim Kaur to talk about her brand, the industries she's a part of as well as what its like to be a Sikh woman in a society where we don't have very much representation at all! It was an absolute pleasure to talk to her as personally she's had an impact on me and has supported me immensely! We recorded this on 26th October 2021, so Bandi Chhor Divas was on the 4th November hence that topic was brought up. People from NHS may even remember me ex...
'I think we should make more of our alumnae, our girls' - Mr Greenwood
November 14, 2021 07:00 - 15 minutes - 29.5 MBThis episode features the wonderful Mr Greenwood talking about the importance of the school archive. He talks about some absolutely incredible figures such as Mariette Soman who was one of the first people to hear about the Armistice... and she was an NHS girl! I hope this sparks some historical interest within you and if it did, follow @NHSArchives on twitter to find out more! Stay safe and see you again soon with another episode, - Love Neha x

It was an incredible privilege to speak to such a strong and kind woman and I really hope you find this episode helpful in understanding the importance of knowing your body's 'normal' !! I hope you have a lovely week, stay safe and remember to check you...
