Naylor's Natter

by Naylor's Nattter

An Education podcast

With a rich history spanning more than 140 episodes, Naylor’s Natter has featured thoughtful, honest conversations with teachers, school leaders, authors and influential voices from across education.

After coming to an end in 2023, the podcast is back with a renewed focus. New episodes combine educational research with professional experience, exploring the routines, decisions and ideas that shape everyday teaching. Reflective, practical and willing to question received wisdom, this is professional conversation without the performance.

Just talking to teachers.
