Educational equality for all.

At ARISE we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable learning environment. To actively address the issue of racism, we offer comprehensive anti-racism training for teachers, support staff governors, parents and the wider school community. Our training aims to empower educators with the knowledge and tools needed to create an anti-racist classroom culture, fostering understanding and respect among pupils.

 

Additionally, we offer engaging anti-racism assemblies specifically designed for children. These assemblies serve as a platform to share crucial lessons about diversity, empathy, and the importance of standing against discrimination.

 

By combining targeted training for educators and impactful assemblies for students, we strive to contribute to a school community that values diversity, embraces inclusivity, and works collectively towards equality.

Hello!

I'm Miss Lawton

Founder of ARISE

A former primary school teacher turned equality lawyer, Miss Lawton founded ARISE: Anti-Racism in Schools and Education in 2019 after noticing a lack of training and support for dealing with racist incidents in schools.

 

Since its foundation, ARISE has become one of the most reputable educational organisations in the UK and is a testament to the importance and impact of our work.

 

By providing educational professionals with the necessary tools, support and guidance, we aim to create safer and more inclusive learning environment for all.

Testimonials

Teachers would describe our training as:

"The best training we've ever had. We had ARISE come to our school in 2021. Two years later and the staff are still talking about it. We've booked round two and can't wait!"

A quote we love:

What you do is incredibly important and you did an absolutely amazing job in making it clearer. I'm especially grateful that you included intersectionality in such a great way. Thank you.

Ed Swan

Pupils would describe our assemblies as:

"The best assembly ever. It's a really serious topic but Miss Lawton still made some parts funny. I really learnt a lot about bullying and how bad it is. I never want to make someone feel that way."

Rohan, Year 7

Parents would describe our sessions as:

Amazing! So needed and so important. I really struggled to discuss racism with my six year old but the parent sessions gave me the skills and knowledge to do so. Thank you.
