Educate Against Racism (EAR) Curriculum Network
During these sessions leaders can explore curriculum intents and resources to consider how they can meet the diverse experiences of the children and families in our schools.

This network is open to all schools in Royal Borough of Greenwich, and we welcome EYFS, Primary and Secondary colleagues.

These meetings are particularly useful for colleagues with responsibility for the curriculum or for those who would like the opportunity to network with other colleagues about developing a racially equitable curriculum.

We hope by working collaboratively in this way, we will most effectively support the students of Greenwich and ensure that we are delivering the best possible curriculum and enrichment opportunities for them.

Pupils will:
  • benefit from experiencing a racially equitable curriculum in their school.
Curriculum leaders will:
  • benefit from sharing approaches and resources for racial equitable curricular.
Schools will:
  • benefit by securing racial equitable curriculum provision.
