Creating a sense of place and belonging
External practice
Duration
Ongoing.
Partnership
NEU/UCL (professor Kathryn Riley) and the Art of Possibilities.
Reason it was developed
As an alternative to current policies in government and school on punative behaviour practices. Creating a sense of Place and Belonging in schools improves academic achievement, creates a greater sense of well-being and aids staff retention.
Activities
Research in 5 schools (report) and literature review.
Results
See research report. We are focussing on leaders and middle leaders taking on this approach in schools and working with us to improve inclusion and the school experience for all actors. We think it is very timely as we work through the challenges of Coronavirus.
