A few years ago I launched a series of Thinking Big talks at the school where I work. Teachers gave half hour talks about topics that interested them on Friday lunchtimes and students could choose to attend or stay away. Perhaps because there was no connection with any exam or test, the talks proved to be very popular. So much so, in fact, that some 6th Formers approached me and asked if they could join in. That year, they gave talks on everything from Beekeeping to the Septuagint to the Politics of Remembrance. It was great.
