Our work with schools

We work with schools to help them:

  • understand the effect that prejudice, stereotyping and bias has on minority students

  • take racism seriously as a safeguarding issue

  • explore ways that everyone (including teachers) can call out racist behaviour and ensure all incidents are dealt with


  • develop better, more enlightened citizens

  • embed anti-racism into their policies and ways of working

Testimonials

“Our young people were supported to challenge their thinking, and understand their responsibilities in speaking out.”
Vanessa Whitcombe, Castle Manor Academy

“The session was proactive, positive, and empowered our students to be celebratory of difference.”
Sally Kennedy, County Upper School

What we can offer

  • We offer anti-racism training sessions for teachers.

    We’ve also produced a reading list that can help you create an anti-racist classroom.

  • We use a technique called forum theatre.

    During these sessions, we ask minority students to describe incidents that they’ve experienced, and then re-enact them using actors.

    We’ll then offer suggestions about how the scenarios could have played out differently.

  • Affinity groups are student-led sessions where students of colour can connect, share experiences, have a voice, and find solidarity.

    We are on hand to offer support, but e content of these sessions is developed by the students themselves.

    They decide how they want to communicate their experiences and how we can empower them.

  • We’re happy to work with you to create bespoke training and events for your school.
