Running the Show (and Literally Running): Meet Kevin Eaglestone

In this insightful and entertaining episode, we sit down with Kevin Eaglestone (st01-), Assistant Head (Organisation) at The Grove, for a deep dive into the intricate workings of the school and plenty more besides!

We lift the curtain on the operational side of school life.  Ever wondered how many chairs are set up for Prize Day? Or what goes on behind the scenes at the start of each day? You’ll hear it all here. From logistics to leadership, Kevin offers a fascinating look at the machine behind the magic. 

Of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with Kev without covering his passions. Expect talk of cars, running (including the inspiring Rob Burrow Marathon), and even Bingo – yes, Bingo! Whether it’s coordinating events, inspiring students, or heading out on a long-distance run, Kevin brings humour, heart and a huge amount of experience to everything he does.

We also chat through:

• The daily rhythm of a senior leader at The Grove
• His proudest achievements and biggest challenges
• What truly makes him happy (spoiler: not just family and friends)
• The best advice he's ever been given
• And why he loves what he does

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about what really happens behind the scenes at The Grove.
