Join us on 13th October for a webinar “The New Ofsted Framework Through An Inclusion Lens”. Dr Nicole Ponsford will show you how to combine Ofsted’s new expectations for inclusion with practical leadership tools and insights from the ‘26,000 Voices’ dataset. www.thegec.education/events/the-n...

There’s not long left to get your tickets for our latest Circle Table event. Dr Nicole Ponsford is joined by co-host France Akinde and a panel of other GEC Circle Experts to talk about “The Same Difference: Bullying, Safeguarding, Behaviour”. Book your spot www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/gec-circle...

At GEC, we’ve always understood that ‘voice’ is the key to inclusion. That’s why we created the 26,000 Voices report, the largest research-led study of its kind, capturing the lived experiences of staff and students across 350 schools. Download the report today www.thegec.education/the-research

Nearly half of students feel like outsiders at school. Number 1 on the Student Inclusion Index looks at the importance of belonging. Of the 13,000 students surveyed, only 53.2% agree that they felt like they belonged at school. Find out more here 👉https://www.thegec.education/students-belonging-1

Higher belonging scores correlate with stronger retention and wellbeing. Yet key findings from our 26,000 Voice report show that only 37% of staff felt that school culture actively promotes inclusion. Find out more here www.thegec.education/staff-belong...

Nearly 1 in 2 students in our dataset for the 26,000 Voices report felt that they can’t be themselves at school. In number two on the Student Inclusion Index*, we're looking at culture and how this shapes the emotional climate of a school. www.thegec.education/students-cul...

Imagine being overlooked for career progression not because of your ability but just because of who you are. This is the reality for 7 out of 10 educators in our 26,000 Voices dataset who felt their identity has negatively impacted their career progression. www.thegec.education/professional...

An inclusive curriculum is required by law but our data shows only 61.2% of students felt that diversity was a part of their daily experience. With GEC, adaptive curriculum design can be used to make strategic decisions for curriculum reform, CPD and inclusion. www.thegec.education/students-div...

With this Autumn lining up to be inclusion-centred, as we await the new DfE Whitepaper & OfSted’s new inspection criteria, have you considered how you train all of your staff in this area? No. 5 on the Staff Inclusion Index digs into CPD. Find out more 👉 www.thegec.education/professional...

How do you measure inclusion? With GEC, of course! #6 in our Student #Inclusion Index goes deeper into inclusion itself to find out where it’s showing up and where it’s checking out in our schools. Find out more here 👉 www.thegec.education/students-inc...

#7 in our Staff #Inclusion Index dives into flexibility. Or more accurately, the lack of it, with 38.4% saying they need to work more flexibly right now. Want to get #flexibleworking right in your school setting? Find out how here 👉 www.thegec.education/staff-flexib... #EduSky #UKTeacher
