About ARISE

​

At ARISE, we are committed to fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments in schools. We recognise the critical importance of addressing racism head-on and are dedicated to providing comprehensive anti-racism training for teachers, support staff, governors, parents, and the wider school community.

 

Our goal is to empower educators with the knowledge and tools they need to cultivate an anti-racist classroom culture, where understanding, respect, and equality thrive.

​

In addition to our training and CPD, we offer engaging anti-racism assemblies specifically designed for children. These assemblies provide an essential platform for teaching students about diversity, empathy, and the importance of standing against discrimination. 

​

By combining targeted educator training and parental engagement with impactful assemblies, ARISE is dedicated to creating school communities that not only value diversity but also actively embrace inclusivity and work together 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

"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!"

St Peter's Catholic Primary School

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

"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

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.

Susie, Parent at Rhodes Avenue Primary School
