🎥 'Talking Heads': &Parents on Leading Parent-School Collaboration in Education

It was a real pleasure to speak with Stephen Newlin from Business Gateway East Lothian for their latest 'Talking Heads' episode, recorded at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh.

In this conversation, we dive into the story behind the launch of &Parents, why we chose to become a social enterprise, and what we’re doing to help schools and families work together more effectively. With over a decade in education and school leadership, Founder and CEO Euan MacLean has seen firsthand how the disconnect between home and school affects outcomes, and how powerful it can be when we get that partnership right. We're all about supporting schools in leading parent-school collaboration in education.

✅ How do we create meaningful change in education?

✅ What do parents really need from schools?

✅ Why do school improvement and parent relationships go hand in hand?

From startup challenges and imposter syndrome to big-picture impact, this one’s for anyone passionate about education, entrepreneurship, and social innovation.
