Girls on Board

Girls on Board

Girls on Board is an approach which helps girls, their parents and their teachers to understand the complexities and dynamics of girl friendships. The language, methods and ideas empower girls to solve their own friendship problems and recognises that they are usually the only ones who can. By empowering girls to find their own solutions, parents need worry less, schools can focus more on the curriculum and the girls learn more effectively – because they are happier.

Over 200 schools have adopted this award-winning approach and are now supporting thousands of girls in their friendships.

Finalist in Wellbeing Initiative of the Year – TES – 2019 and 2020.

Educating for Equality

Educating for Equality logo

Educating for Equality

We are an education consultancy who aim to be at the forefront of research developments in the field of ‘race’ and gender to ensure that young people are taught to be global citizens, understanding the importance of their roles in shaping an equal, and eventually equitable society. Educating for Equality was established with the objective of supporting schools in their journey towards true equality (and equity). School leaders and head teachers in particular, are in the position to change mindsets and build cultures of inclusion and justice. We believe that it is not enough to acknowledge the problem of race and gender inequality, as educators we have a social responsibility to actively embark on a journey of social justice for all.

In order to support schools on this journey, we offer an online School Development Programme as well as bespoke CPD for schools. We can also provide speakers for one-off events or twilight INSETs. Schools have the opportunity to work towards gaining our quality marks for Equality Education: the Allegiance Award, the Champion Award and the Beacon Award. These are research-informed awards and provide an excellent way to celebrate and externally validate your school’s commitment to equality. With Educating for Equality, you will be part of our mission: #changingtheworldoneschoolatatime

New Schools Network

New Schools Network logo

New Schools Network

Since 2009, NSN has been at the forefront of an agenda promoting equal standards of education and life chances of all children in England.  We know that too often, a young person’s background dictates their destination in life, entrenching inequality and impacting communities for generations to come. Through the last decade, we have passionately championed breaking down barriers to a good education, through every divide, be it the area where you live, your family background or race.

Ethnically diverse communities have had their standards of education transformed by the free schools programme. A higher percentage of pupils from black and minority ethnic communities attend free schools when compared to other schools. As the top performing type of school at primary and secondary level in England, the programme is a vehicle for social mobility and delivering for left behind communities.

But, NSN recognises that there is much more to do. It is no longer enough to tackle the scourges of racism, lack of diversity and inequality with one approach.  NSN’s senior leadership team has been listening to staff and stakeholders to understand what role the charity can play in breaking down barriers in education. Charities must act on, not just talk about, change- NSN will do that. Having worked with the staff body, NSN’s trustees are today announcing a series of commitments to further our work.

New Schools Network’s Academy Ambassadors Programme is committed to meaningful diversity and inclusion. We believe a diverse academy trust board – in thought, skill, and experience – offers the best range of perspective, and the best support and challenge to the leaders it holds to account.

Figures from our annual diversity survey of all Ambassadors in August 2020 showed 13% of Ambassadors that responded are from BAME backgrounds; 5% are from the LGBTQIA+ community; and 33% are women. We are proud of the progress made over recent years to encourage more women and people from BAME backgrounds to volunteer on academy trust boards.

Results of our annual diversity showed respondents appointed in financial year 2019/20 were more diverse than previous cohorts, with more female than male Ambassadors appointed; the highest figure of Ambassadors with a disability appointed; and the breadth of religious belief, sexual orientation, ethnic background, employment status and qualification level more wide ranging.

While Academy Ambassador appointments are broadly in line with FTSE 100 board positions, and these figures suggest positive trends in more diverse recruitment by academy trusts, we recognise this is not enough. We continually evaluate and reflect upon our procedures to ensure we are promoting board recruitment practices that remove barriers to volunteers from diverse backgrounds being appointed to, and retained in, non-executive director roles.

We are working with industry partners to curate a series of new offers to match diverse candidates to roles that will provide professional development and support their careers in business; we have reviewed and increased the job boards we use to promote roles, ensuring they are reaching the broadest audience; we are developing partnerships with diversity and inclusion networks in business; and we are matching professionals with academy trust roles exposing more diverse candidates to board roles.

We are also listening to NSN staff, businesses, and Ambassadors to learn more about lived experience and how academy trusts can make sure their own recruitment practices are encouraging a broad range of candidates.

We recognise that this must be an ongoing endeavour, with impactful and tangible results, but we are unwavering in our commitment to more diverse academy trusts. We will keep working hard to see broader representation on academy trust boards because we believe a diverse board positively impacts outcomes for children of all backgrounds and for society as a whole.

In October 2020, New Schools Network, together with the Confederation of School Trusts, published On Diversity: An Essay Collection. The collection has been written by six trustees from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds, who reflect on their personal and professional experiences. It also includes a foreword from best-selling author Matthew Syed.

National Governance Association

National Governance Association logo

National Governance Association

The National Governance Association (NGA) is the membership organisation for governors, trustees and clerks of state schools in England. We are an independent, not-for-profit charity that aims to improve the educational standards and wellbeing of young people by increasing the effectiveness of governing boards and promoting high standards. We are expert leaders in school and trust governance, providing information, advice and guidance, professional development and e-learning.

Through our Everyone on Board campaign, launched in 2018, we encourage volunteers from underrepresented groups (particularly Black, Asian and minority ethnicities and young people) as well as education professionals to join governing boards. We champion the benefits of having a diverse board and help governing boards to understand why it is important and how to recruit for diversity.

Our wider work looks at every aspect of the role of the board in encouraging diversity and ensuring equality ins schools and trusts – in determining ethos and culture; the role of recruiting senior leaders; as employers of all staff; and the direct impact on pupils: the oversight of the curriculum, monitoring of behaviour and exclusions, and outcomes.

Adding new governors/trustees to the governing board who are reflective of (but not representatives of) the community the school serves can help it make better decisions in the interest of all pupils.

Governors for Schools

Governors for Schools

Governors for Schools finds, places, and supports skilled volunteers as school governors and academy trustees on school and academy boards.

We serve schools across England and Wales to run effectively by finding high calibre school governors to bring their skills and expertise to the table – and improve education for children.

We recognise that governing boards must be representative of the communities they serve, and the country as a whole. We work to recruit and retain volunteers from diverse backgrounds, improving the diversity of those involved in governance to ensure robust decision-making.

Our Feedback

Hannah delivered an engaging session to introduce all of our staff to DEI. Our staff were really motivated after the session and felt much more confident about the subject. It made me think about the different groups of colleagues as well as pupils and how they are affected by the environment that we have created here in school.

Caroline Gaynor, Head of Art and DEI Lead, Holme Grange School

I would highly recommend Hannah and Diverse Educators for staff training on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Hannah as a presenter was knowledgeable and extremely credible for our staff. Having been a teacher herself meant that she was able to speak to them at the right level and it was a great balance of information and challenge – done in a way that allowed our staff to come to their own positions with a lack of judgment. It has set a great tone for the year and our staff are more sessions in the future!

Dan Colquhoun, Assistant Headteacher, Dr Challoner’s Grammar School

Hannah is a very skilled facilitator and enabled our staff to really reflect and consider how we can develop our provision, to meet the needs of our community and so enabling our children to become positive citizens of the future.

Fiona Wyeth, Headteacher, Overton CE Primary School


Think Equal

Think Equal logo

Think Equal

Think Equal is a global education initiative, founded in 2016 by Leslee Udwin, that calls for a system change in education to end the discriminatory mindset and cycle of violence across our world. It asks: “How can it be deemed compulsory for a child to learn numeracy and literacy, and yet it is optional for a child to learn how to value another human being and lead healthy relationships?” ​​Think Equal acts as a ‘vaccination’ against violence and negative behaviours by reaching children early and preventatively: since neuroscience clearly defines the optimal window of modifiability of attitudes and behaviours as being in the Early Years. The Think Equal programme mediates all aspects of value-based, experiential social and emotional learning for children aged 3-6. The curriculum covers age appropriate lessons in 25 key SEL competencies and skills including empathy, emotional literacy, resilience, self regulation, critical thinking, gender and racial equality, peaceful conflict resolution, and self-esteem.

Think Equal’s Founder and Executive Chair who works full time on Think Equal, Leslee Udwin, is a former filmmaker and now campaigner for a system change on education. Leslee was voted by the NY Times the No 2 Most Impactful Woman of 2015 (second to Hillary Clinton), and has been awarded the prestigious Swedish Anna Lindh Human Rights Prize (previously won by Madeleine Albright). She has also been named Safe’s Global Hero of 2015, Global Thinker by Foreign Policy, and the GlobalmindED award for Arts and Education in 2019. In 2019 Leslee was awarded the UN Women for Peace Activist Award at the United Nations, UN Association USA’s Global Citizen of 2019 and the Gandhi Foundation International Peace Award. Think Equal has additionally been shortlisted for the WISE 2020 awards (results to be officially announced on 13th October).

Leslee is also an active member of a number of task forces and panels including: the IADB 21st Century Skills Coalition; Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences Task Force for the Global Compact on Education; the Education Commission; C20 Summit. Finally, she has contributed an article to the special edition E-Book, “Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined: Thoughts and Responses from Education’s Frontline During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond”, published by WISE, and a chapter to the upcoming book ‘Education: the Global Compact’ for the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, edited by Marcelo M. Suárez-Orozco, Bishop Chancellor Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, and Jeff Sachs.

The Proud Trust

The Proud Trust is a life saving and life enhancing organisation that helps LGBT+ young people empower themselves, to make a positive change for themselves, and their communities. We do this through youth groups, coordinating national and regional LGBT+ youth work networks, managing the LGBT+ Centre for Manchester, delivering of training, running events and campaigns and undertaking research.

In addition to our youth work, we work directly with schools and educators, supporting them in making their school community more LGBT+ inclusive. We are a delivery partner of the Rainbow Flag Award; a nationally recognised framework to support teaching staff in ensuring all aspects of their school are inclusive of their young LGBT+ people.

Alongside teachers, we develop educational, LGBT+ inclusive resources to help embed LGBT+ icons, history and issues into their curriculum and usualise LGBT+ identities.

We are currently working with Sue Sanders, co-founder of LGBT+ History Month UK, to develop
The Classroom; a series of free LGBT+ inclusive lessons for Key Stages 1 – 4. They can be found
here.
