No Running in the Corridors
by Artichoke Media Ltd
Welcome to NRitC – the rebel podcast that aims to rewrite the school rulebook, one regulation at a time...Join education journalist Helen Mulley and a rotating panel of teachers, leaders and thinkers as they rummage through the regulations, routines and rituals that shape school life – and ask whether they still make sense (or indeed, if they ever did in the first place).In each episode, Helen and her guests take one familiar school rule and put it under the microscope to investigate where it came from, what it looks like in today's education landscape – and whether it's really doing what we want it to. Does it really matter if homework isn't handed in on time? What's the problem with taking a family holiday during termtime? And is maths GCSE genuinely the right qualification for everyone?Expect wit, warmth and the occasional classroom flashback, as No Running in the Corridors opens the door to new ideas, dares to challenge t

No Holidays in Term-Time
Should families with strong attendance records still face fines for term-time holidays? In this episode, host Helen Mulley explores the controversial “no holidays in term time” rule with Ryan Lockett, headteacher at TLC LIVE Online School, and Shane Kirk, parent of a Y11 student. Together they unpack fines, attendance pressures and the tension between school accountability, holiday affordability and trust in parental judgement.

Three Strikes And You’re Out
An empty inclusion base is a successful one, right? In this episode, Helen Mulley explores the “three strikes and you’re out” behaviour system with headteacher James Saunders and Jamie Rogers from education charity The Difference. They discuss balancing clear rules with individual needs, using data and relationships to prevent exclusions, and helping pupils take ownership of their choices.

Homework Must Be Handed In On Time
Is homework really about learning – or something else entirely? In this episode, Helen Mulley is joined by Katie Alexander, deputy headteacher at Carr Mill Primary in Merseyside, and Darren Lyon, experienced school principal and doctoral researcher. Together, they explore the complex world of homework: its purpose, impact on families and whether it’s actually helping children develop responsibility or just adding stress...

Everyone Takes Maths GCSE
Is GCSE maths failing the students it’s meant to help? In this episode, Helen Mulley is joined by Dougald Tidswell, a secondary maths teacher with 20+ years’ experience, and Peter Mattock, former teacher and national secondary maths lead at Twinkl. Together, they challenge the assumption that everyone should take GCSE maths and explore what young people really need from maths education.
