Tom Lawson talks to Peter Middleton, Headmaster at Oswestry School about his passion for long distance running and how LinkedIn and his own gap year at a school in South Africa have led to the creation of Oswestry School’s International Exchange Programme. Tom and Peter talk about how the school’s partnerships are having a life-changing impact on pupils, as well as some of the practicalities and challenges that need to be considered to create a successful programme.
