We are very excited to announce a partnership with the UCL (University College London) Centre for Inclusive Education to produce a short course for teachers on promoting School Belonging available in September 2025.
The relationship between school belonging and positive school experience is widely acknowledged but yet to be established in educational practice. This theory formed the basis of Stef Pearce, our Head of Training & Development’s brilliant Master’s research which has provided a springboard into further development and recognition from the university. As a result we are collaborating to co-produce a short course about promoting school belonging which will form part of the UCL Centre for Inclusive Education’s suite of introductory short courses for teachers working in mainstream and specialist schools. Pathways to further information or more bespoke courses will be provided to teachers as part of this course.
The course will include modules on understanding the importance of belonging, attachment theory and trauma, evidencing student outcomes from belonging, evidence from a psychological sense of school belonging, creating meaningful relationships with students and inclusive practice as teacher attunement underpinned by humanistic principles.
