Thursday 27th June 2024
9am – 4pm
Following on from the success of our inaugural 2023 Junior School conference held in Francis Holland School, Regent’s Park, we are pleased to announce this year’s event ‘Racial Inclusion for Primary Years: Exploring Best Practice from Stakeholder Perspectives’,
The event will explore strategies for racial inclusion from the perspectives of varying stakeholders, namely racially minoritised students, non-minoritised students, parents, and teachers.
The conference aims to:
- Establish a foundational understanding and framework for implementing racially inclusive curriculum practices in primary years.
- Centre the voices of racially minoritised students in understanding the impact of racial inclusion within the curriculum and beyond.
- Explore diverse perspectives, sharing successful approaches in which the whole school community can be included in EDI initiatives
Schools will be introduced to the forward-thinking work ACEN has identified undertaken by:
- Dulwich College (Independent School)
- Bird in Bush Primary School (State School)
- Northwood College for Girls (Independent School)
Members of the ACEN Young People’s Advisory Group (YPAG) alongside a diverse group of minoritised students from a number of schools, alongside Black parents will feature on two separate panels. There will also be a session featuring the voices of non-racially minoritised students sharing the impact that racial inclusion work has had on their education.
In addition, the ACEN team will host a session helping attendees to formulate actionable strategies within their settings.
As such, the content will be tailored to Heads, SLT, and school staff tasked with leading on EDI, Safeguarding, and PSHE curriculum.
As before, we will publish a list of schools in attendance on request from our members.
