Great ideas on changing our curriculum to suit our pupils.
Sam Linton, Head of School, Julian’s Primary
The message of positive representation and not settling for diverse coverage alone but looking through the curriculum from different lenses to ensure it is accurate and factual was positive and empowering.
Andrew Murning, LGFL
Bennie provided an outstanding start to our year, giving our staff a myriad of ideas and concepts which they can use on the long journey to a more diverse curriculum. She was highly knowledgeable, but also wore her expertise with a humility and practicality that made staff believe that they could make real progress.
Heath Monk, CEO, British School in the Netherlands
Bennie’s training session on Diversity in the Curriculum was truly excellent! Her lively and passionate manner of speaking ensured that everyone was fully engaged throughout the session. She shared a wealth of relevant and thought-provoking ideas that teachers can implement in order to develop diversity and create an inclusive curriculum. Highly recommended!
