Sir Anthony Seldon on managing tragedy and developing resilience in young people

In this episode I’m joined by the eminent and progressive educator, renowned author and political historian Sir Anthony Seldon. As a Headmaster, he has led some of Britain’s most prestigious schools, including Brighton College and Wellington and most recently Epsom College, a role he took on following the shocking murder of former Headmistress Emma Pattison and her daughter, Lettie. Anthony talks about that challenge and other personal crises he has faced and managed. Along the way we discuss his passionate belief in the importance of developing resilience in our young people. As he puts its: “What really matters is helping young people learn how to live meaningful, contented, productive, enjoyable lives without dependencies and without the need to trash themselves.” His work on this subject was well ahead of its time … and even prompted severe criticism from other teachers. Anthony’s own school education was far from plain sailing – he flunked his A Levels and was later, as he eloquently puts it, ‘invited to leave the school’. After the intervention of an English teacher who recognised his talent, he got back on course and, after some more bumps in the road, began the career in which he has helped so many young people. Anthony also speaks movingly about the death of his first wife Joanna and explains why he feels he did not handle his grief well. I loved this conversation both for the range of subjects we covered and for the wisdom Anthony shared so brilliantly. I hope you enjoy it too.

I dictate what I’m seeing and noticing, and then at the end of a day’s walking I put it all together. 2. Eating and drinking with friends – There is nothing more heavenly and grounding than being in France by a river having lunch with people who one loves. 3. Teaching – It’s in teaching that we learn. It is an unbelievable privilege talking to young people and sharing ideas with them.
