This is a bespoke training offer for schools to develop and support equality and diversity teaching in the curriculum and wider ethos of the school.
The whole staff training session can be delivered as part of an INSET day or as a 2-hour twilight session.
The training incorporates features of good practice, whole school approaches and practical ideas and resources to enable practitioners to embed diverse perspectives across the curriculum, supporting schools with their duty under the Equality Act, SMSC, 2025 Curriculum Review and Ofsted requirements.
“We are seeking to deliver a curriculum that reflects the issues and diversities of our society, ensuring all children and young people are represented, whilst also exposing them to a wide range of perspectives that broaden their horizons.
To foster engagement and support positive outcomes, it’s important that the curriculum covers a wide range of experiences and representation, as well as promoting our shared values, to build empathy and understanding of others.”
