À propos de ce contenu audio

 No one wants to peak at high school - and no one score can sum you up. More Than a Score is a podcast about life beyond school results for parents, young people, or anyone navigating change. Each episode dives into real stories of people from all walks of life: leaders, parents, athletes, entrepreneurs, and creatives. Each guest shares what school was like for them, their paths beyond school, the lessons they've learned, skills that have helped, and how they define success today. Hosted by Laura and Dan, educators with over 30 years of combined experience leading and teaching in schools, they explore how success isn’t ever defined by one score and there is no one right path after school. If you’re a parent supporting your child, an educator guiding students, or going through a change in your career, More Than a Score is made for you. Parentalité Relations

    Introducing More Than a Score
    Sep 1 2025
    What really defines success? For too long, school results and test scores have been seen as the ultimate measure. But life after school tells a different story. In our very first episode of More Than a Score, hosts Laura and Dan introduce the vision behind the podcast—why marks aren’t the whole picture, and why the real lessons are often found in resilience, relationships, and the pathways we take beyond school. This episode sets the stage for the series. You’ll hear why we’re creating a space to share the stories of everyday people—leaders, parents, athletes, entrepreneurs, and creatives—reflecting on their school days, what shaped them, and how they define success today. If you’re a parent, student, teacher, or simply someone who remembers the weight and pressure of school results, this podcast is for you. We’ll remind you that success comes in many forms, that there is no one "right" pathway beyond school, and that it really is about far more than a score. Show notes: * Meet the hosts of More Than a Score, Laura and Dan: teachers, award-winning school leaders, and parents with 5 kids of our own between us. *How each episode can help you with practical insights from real stories and experiences. * Why we started this podcast: shifting the conversation beyond academic results. * What you can expect in future episodes: real stories from diverse voices. * A thank-you to our early listeners for joining us on this journey.

  • Thomas Pitt: Resilience & How Going Unscored Isn't The End

    Thomas Pitt: Resilience & How Going Unscored Isn't The End
    Sep 14 2025
    Imagine being told at school you’re “going non-scored.” For many, that feels like a full stop. For Thomas Pitt, it became the spark for resilience that shaped every step of his journey. From days working and grinding as a wool presser and manning the floor in a garden nursery to civil construction, Thomas worked his way up from being on the tools to leading a team—before backing himself to start Access Utility Engineering (AUE), the business he now runs today. His story is living proof that school results do not define what’s possible. In this conversation, Thomas speaks openly about the lessons he’s learned, the power of persistence, and the importance of choosing the right people to work with. He also reflects on how becoming a parent reshaped his understanding of success. This is an episode for every parent worrying about their child’s pathway, and every student questioning their worth. Thomas’s story reminds us that success is not a score—it’s resilience, growth, and the life you choose to build. You’ll discover: • Why going non-scored doesn’t limit your future. • How resilience and persistence create new opportunities. • What a leader like Thomas looks or when building his team at AUE. • Why success shifts from individual achievement to family, balance, and growth. This episode is testament that life is about far more than a score. Know someone else with a story that should be shared? Get in contact with us at morethanascorepod@gmail.com!
