"We went to the archives and learnt about black people in Bath. We learned what happened to them and what it was like to live there. That inspired me to learn more about my heritage”

What We Do
Supplementary School
The Supplementary School runs on Saturdays during term time from 11am - 1pm for young people aged 12-16. We also provide a programme of educational activities for primary pupils aged 8-11 during school holidays.
We provide an exciting and diverse range of learning opportunities, which includes film, history and creative arts projects, all rooted in a curriculum exploring Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic culture, heritage and identity.
Our young people are the centre of the programme and are regularly consulted to ensure the projects we deliver reflect who they are.
We work collaboratively with primary and secondary schools to deliver workshops for students aimed at exploring and engaging with issues of diversity, ethnicity, culture and identity.
To discuss and book workshops for your school please call our Supplementary School Co-ordinator on 01225 787 925
Our mentoring programme provides targeted mentoring support for black and minority ethnic children and young people in both primary and secondary schools.
Mentors provide positive role models able to develop supportive relationships with students to help them address a range of issues and needs related to their education and social and emotional well being.
Schools, parents and students have reported the positive difference that our mentoring can make to children and young people, in relation to their academic achievement, engagement with education, behaviour, attendance, confidence and self esteem, resilience, sense of identity and belonging.
Email us at manager@educationequals.org.uk for more details about our mentoring programme.
We provide training for staff and governors in primary and secondary schools on race equality and education. Our training supports your school to engage with and explore the issues of race, ethnicity, equality, diversity, culture and identity within the school setting. It aims to ensure that schools are more effective in actively understanding, addressing and promoting race equality and supporting all pupils to develop, achieve and reach their potential.
To discuss and book training please call our Development Manager on 01225 787 924
We provide a free advice, information and advocacy service for parents and carers in relation to their child’s education. This includes support on race equality and education, school choice and school admission appeals, educational achievement, school exclusion and exclusion appeals, behaviour and attendance, special educational needs and disability, and making a complaint.
