SPECIAL EP: Laura Pitt - What School Taught Me & What It Didn’t

You’ve heard the conversations. Now it’s time to meet the people behind them. In this special episode of More Than a Score, we flip the script and turn the mic toward Laura Pitt — co-host of the podcast — to explore her own journey through school, uncertainty, decision-making, and the moments that shaped how she now supports young people and families. Laura shares openly about her experience of school, the expectations she carried, the choices she made along the way, and how her understanding of success has evolved over time. It’s an honest reflection how life rarely follows a straight line — and why that’s not only okay, but often where growth begins. This episode is especially for listeners who: • Are supporting a child through school transitions • Are worried about results or “getting it right” • Want reassurance that there are many ways to live a fulfilling life • Young people who need to hear that uncertainty is normal What You’ll Hear in This Episode • Laura’s experience of school and early decision-making • How pressure and expectations can shape confidence • Why success looks different at different stages of life • The power of reflection, self-trust, and support • What Laura wishes parents and students knew during school years • Why More Than a Score exists — and who it’s really for Because behind every pathway is a human story. And no one score ever tells the whole one.
