EP22 - Going to Hogwarts. For Real.

Episode: The Hogwarts SchoolAfter a visit to Warner Bros Studios London, Amanda pitches a chain of schools where every classroom looks like Hogwarts. Real curriculum, real exams, but floating candles, house dining halls, and a potions lab where chemistry used to be.Mark and Amanda debate whether designing schools to inspire children rather than contain them is the most important educational reform of the century, or whether dressing up a primary school in someone else's imagination is the most expensive kind of borrowed magic.Along the way: what Ofsted and the Daily Mail would each do with a Warner Bros licensing bill on a state school, the awkward truth that Hogwarts itself is an elite boarding school for the magically gifted, and the bigger, sharper idea hiding underneath about the bookends of life we've stopped designing for.The Judgement Giraffe rules.
