What happens when children in your primary classroom do not see themselves represented in your curriculum?

The Primary Education Network (PEN) offer free termly online CPD sessions for schools.  

The spring term’s event focuses on creating a diverse, representative primary curriculum and is led by Helen Richardson, deputy head teacher at Seely Primary and Nursery School, Nottingham. 

In this session we will discuss the impact of the lack of representation in the primary curriculum, the importance of including everyone's history in the primary curriculum and how to create a diverse curriculum where everyone is included. We will look at why it's not enough to teach our children to be tolerant, but the entire basis of our curricula should be shaping accepting and respectful citizens of the future.
