Alexandra Park School and Hemisphere Education Forge a Transformative Partnership for Inclusive Education
In a ground-breaking initiative to champion inclusivity in education, Hemisphere Education has joined forces with Alexandra Park School, to deliver a pioneering program designed to dismantle unconscious bias and enhance racial literacy.
Hemisphere Education has been developed by Rare, experts in race equity, and helps school leaders, teachers and staff combat bias by helping all to better understand Black children’s school experiences. Our aim for this project is to foster belonging and create an environment where every student can thrive. Rare has been working with prestigious institutions including Oxford and Cambridge Universities since 2012, providing school students access to role models already studying at Oxbridge. Its aim is to inspire students, inform them on how to develop their subject knowledge through external activities and encourage students to aim for top GCSE grades. Rare is also working with major corporations such as JP Morgan and McKinsey, and key players in the legal and finance sectors, helping these organisations recognise, deal and overcome obstacles to diversity and eliminate discrimination.
Alexandra Park School, is an outstanding school which lives and breathes its ethos of Success For All and recognises that there is always more which can be done to support, encourage and inspire all its students to aim high and achieve the best possible outcomes. APS has proudly teamed up with Hemisphere Education and the city law firm Stephenson Harwood to deliver this initiative. This collaboration seamlessly aligns with our core values centred around inclusion and making a positive impact on both students and staff.
The partnership aims to create a successful learning environment and empower educators and students alike with the tools to break down barriers to inclusion. By integrating Hemisphere into our learning framework, Alexandra Park School is setting a precedent for successful educational practices that prioritise diversity, equality, and inclusion.
This collaboration isn't just about successful schooling; it's about creating a comprehensive training ground where inclusivity is ingrained into the fabric of education. Through this partnership, Alexandra Park School and Hemisphere are poised to shape a future where every student feels seen, heard, and valued, helping pave the way for a more inclusive society.
