A huge thank you to Martine Booker Southard and Stuart McDonald for joining us for Episode 4 of If They Only Knew podcast. 🙏🏾 Anti-racism is a safeguarding issue. It's something every school, every leader, every teacher has a responsibility to. Link to the episode: youtube.com/watch?v=0lPO...

And that’s a wrap on our final Action Research Day with the latest cohort! So grateful for the depth of thinking and commitment throughout the antiracism journey and excited to see how these insights continue to shape teaching and learning in schools going forward.

It’s important to see funding going into tackling antisemitism, but it raises a bigger question. Why does it often take harm or a moment like this for anti-racism to be prioritised? This work shouldn’t be reactive. It should already be part of the curriculum consistently, across all forms of racism.

The classroom is where anti-racism training either lives or dies. Episode 2 of If They Only Knew is out now: youtu.be/bQ8TAuHc2PQ?...

After a powerful day of reflection, learning and development with college staff about how to talk about racism and the need to build understanding of each other, an attempted arson attack on a synagogue is reported.

Coco Gauff looked so beautiful in those photos. 4C hair, just as it is. That shouldn’t feel like a statement-but it still does.

Last month's action research sessions ended with one question: what's your next step? No one said "write a report." They said: listen to teachers. Involve pupils. Keep going. This is the work.

I'm ending women’s history month by celebrating Betty Campbell: the first Black headteacher in Wales. Her work went beyond representation; transforming the curriculum and assumptions embedded in. A reminder that equity needs intentional disruption. #WomensHistoryMonth #BlackWomenInEducation

Even though International Women’s Day has passed, we’re still in Women’s History Month and this message still stands. “Give to Gain” isn’t about women giving more of themselves. It’s about what systems are willing to give. #GiveToGain #WomensHistoryMonth #ApexEducate

There’s a history in Britain of collapsing ethnicity, culture and race into one narrow idea of who belongs. But Britain has always been shaped by movement, migration and exchange. Maybe the question isn’t who belongs in public spaces but whether our understanding of belonging is wide enough.

For those of you new to me… did you know I’m a TEDx speaker? A few years ago, I spoke about how care gets lost in education when we’re focused on delivering knowledge. And yet, care is the thing that makes learning possible. Here's the link to the talk: youtu.be/IqGme5480Z0?...

It’s been almost a month since we launched the Betty Campbell's Pathway - an immersive way for learners to explore history that feels real and connected. Grateful to everyone already bringing it into their classrooms. 💛 #BettyCampbell #BlackHistoryMonth #AntiRacismInEducation

Started the week chatting to learners about my grandmother, Betty Campbell; her life, her legacy, and her courage to do what’s right. It’s so important that curriculums reflect diverse voices, just like these learners are experiencing.

Chine McDonald’s book launch at St Paul’s was a night of truth. ‘Perfect motherhood’ wasn’t made for us—but we’re rewriting the script. #BlackMotherhood #BreakingTheMould

To all school administrators: What policies are you implementing to address the rising exclusion rates of Black Caribbean students, especially Black girls, in UK schools? These are futures on the line. Equity and inclusion must be a priority. #Edusky #AntiRacism
