Posted on 9th Dec 2025 in School News
A new podcast episode has just been released with the new Head of Berkhamsted Girls and Head of Berkhamsted Boys Schools, Jo Vila and Tom Hockedy.
This month on the ‘In the Berkhamstedian Spotlight’ podcast, we sit down with Head of Berkhamsted Boys, Tom Hockedy and Head of Berkhamsted Girls, Jo Vila. Together, they share insights on collaboration, educational opportunity, and what makes Berkhamsted such a special place to learn and work.
“How lucky are we all as a community?” - Jo Vila
Jo and Tom explore our “diamond” structure, which combines the strengths of a single-sex education at Senior level with rich co-educational opportunities. From the use of our outstanding facilities across all sites, to co-curricular clubs and trips, pupils come together across the group in so many meaningful ways.
Jo and Tom also reflect on their own journeys at Berkhamsted, including how they built their families here, and yes, Tom’s favourite ice cream. Tune in to the podcast now to find out more.
