We work in partnership with schools to deliver our ©Cultural Development Programme (CDP), which provides school leaders with a framework to deliver the cultural development many know their pupils need. The ©CDP helps to prepare children and young people to successfully navigate our interconnected world. Celebrating cultural diversity and inclusion significantly contributes to pupils’ sense of belonging and respect for others.

Our ©CDP is delivered through a series of engaging workshops that are age-appropriate (for all key stages, including Sixth Form). Our workshops help equip pupils with critical thinking skills, empathy, and other soft skills needed to thrive in our diverse society and the global workspace.

Each workshop is tailored to pupils and ensures they develop our ©3Rs:

1. Racial & cultural literacy- being racially aware, confident and continuing to build knowledge about other cultures and cultural differences. It is an essential skill for work and life.

2. Respectful curiosity & pride- an appreciation, interest in and understanding of other cultures, including that of their peers whilst also celebrating their own heritage(s). Opportunity to learn about and from under-represented groups.

3. Resolve to respond-the courage, insights and tools to call out, challenge and correct racially inappropriate, discriminatory and/or offensive behaviour or language.

   It is designed for the whole academic year, working with different year group cohorts, and can be booked annually. It is underpinned by research, our lived experiences as black parents, and best practice guidance and collaboration with others, including authors, artists/performers, educators, and other EDI practitioners. It is regularly monitored and evaluated to assess its impact.

We also act as a critical friend, providing bespoke consulting services to assist with:
