Today, many of our pupils and families are celebrating thanksgiving, which made me reflect on one of the special characteristics that drew me to Akeley Wood School. That is, our vibrant, diverse school community. This is, in part, due to our pupil population comprising students from all over the world, and our school community is all the better for it! To be successful in life, you need to be able to connect with and form positive relationships with people from all walks of life and our schools are at the forefront of encouraging children and young people to develop those positive relationships. In a social media driven world, that relentlessly serves up content that reinforces viewpoints, and so increases polarisation of perspectives, rather than challenges ideas, this important aspect of education - to develop character and embrace our fellow human no matter their background - is harder than ever. In the ten years I spent in education, I've not found a school that isn't value driven, that doesn't try to celebrate difference and encourage inclusivity. However, I know from first-hand experience that the makeup of your school community is key to addressing this, because unless it reflects the modern world, how can it truly prepare students to navigate the word of work successfully and make positive contributions to society? Too often, particularly in the independent sector, students graduate having been cocooned in a bubble. If children and young people are not mixing with peers from a diverse backgrounds from a very early age, they are not receiving the exposure to alternate outlook and ideas they need. So, when evaluating a school for the next stage of your child's educational journey, I would encourage parents to also think about whether the school community itself reflects the modern world you aspire your child to enter. #internationalstudents #diversityineducation #inclusiveeducation #akeleywoodschool #beyoubrillinantly #thanksgiving #cognita

Some of us in Tim Steckel's 30 Day Compost Content Challenge were just chatting about how many parents find it challenging to see the benefits of composting or to get started—especially when they don't have their own garden at home. The consensus? We need to tap into the excitement and passion of kids to inspire their families to join in on composting at home. After all, as they say, "From the mouths of babes..." so check out this post from Let's Go Compost for a few compelling reasons kids love composting 💚 #Composting #30C #MakeCompostMainstream

Today is the day! Did you know that adult learners, or post-traditional learners, lack the same scholarship opportunities compared to traditional college-aged students? The School of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS) supports post-traditional learners with educational opportunities that span from undergraduate to terminal degrees, along with micro-credentials to upskill and provide better career opportunities. Consider giving to SGPS and support our learners trying to balance life, work, and their education goals! #OneEtown
