Great Representation programme in 2021-22

Last updated on 10 March 2023

We are delighted to share the case studies produced by the first cohort of schools on the Great Representation programme in 2021-22.

For an introduction to the programme please watch our short video from Rachel Macfarlane and Michael Catchpool.

The programme, addressing race inequity in schools, was generously funded by Hertfordshire County Council from ‘Coming Back Stronger’ monies. The 23 participating schools explored issues such as:

  • how to talk to staff and pupils about race
  • how to diversify and decolonise the curriculum
  • how to increase race diversity in staff, governing and trust bodies

Each school wrote a case study, telling the story of the work they had undertaken towards becoming an anti-racist school. These studies can be accessed below along with a digital copy of the book.

We hope that you find the book inspiring and interesting and that it will assist you in your anti-racism work.

We are delighted to be embarking on a second year of the Great Representation programme in September, with 28 more Hertfordshire primary and secondary schools.
