Our mission is to work towards an education sector that is a reflection of our society and tackle racial inequality in education in the South West

We represent the full diversity of the educators that we want to see in our schools right across the South West region from Swindon to Cornwall. Our core contributors derive from all ethnic backgrounds and a wide range of professional backgrounds from senior leaders in both primary and secondary schools both state and independent sectors, learning support assistants, recent university graduates, colleagues from the alternative provision sector, educational consultants, university professors and colleagues from the local authority.

Each of our core contributors is expected to give their time and energy to create the change that we want to see in the region, whether that be through writing and sourcing articles and resources, managing our website and social media, providing coaching or mentoring, developing training sessions, or working with local communities and schools.
