Teacher Training Testimonies

“Excellent and a really informative, well structured session. I thoroughly enjoyed the clips of students talking about why The Black Curriculum is so important and a key takeaway is that it is everyone's responsibility to embed into school and lessons. Everyone is accountable” — Teach First Trainees 2020

“Thank you to Christina Peake from The Black Curriculum for working with staff at UCL Academy today on improving our levels of racial literacy. You have shown us that it is not just about what we teach, but also how we teach it. It was such a welcome opportunity to have an open and honest conversation about the impact of the language we use and I am confident this will move us one step closer to further developing an anti racist curriculum and culture at UCL Academy.” UCL Academy 2020

“ The training delivered by Christina was excellent. Clear ground rules were laid at the beginning of the first session. The sessions were very well structured, informative and allowed for staff interaction and discussion” - Carlton School, 2021

“This session was an important early step in our school's journey to becoming a more anti-racist space; it has sparked conversations and actions that will hopefully have long-term benefits for staff and pupils.” — Blossom House School 2020

“We found the curriculum consultation with The Black Curriculum very useful. It was great to discuss our plans for a new Humanities curriculum with Natalie and Saffa, who gave us lots of concrete examples of how to embed Black British history within a variety of topics and suggestions on how to tweak language and questioning to be more inclusive. The final report they provided had links to a variety of useful resources which we will be exploring as we continue to develop our provision for pupils. Thank you!” - Colfe's Junior School 2020

”An incredibly well thought-out and delivered workshop on a very important subject matter. Thought provoking, the session really allows you to broaden the scope of your perspective and challenges what you think you know.” - The Brilliant Club
