Our Anti-Racism Project has continued this term with students collaborating to make short films that will be used to start conversations with Year 8 classes. We have four clusters of schools that are meeting weekly, so you might spot the filming as it takes place between now and the end of term. We are looking forward to sharing them with you next term.
This project has been funded by a partnership grant from the Department for Education.

We’ve run three Thinking About… webinars this half term, Thinking About

We’re still finalising the speakers for next half term but already confirmed are Thinking About… Sustainable finance with Daniel Hanna, …Being happy in your own skin with Pamela Dusu, and …LGBTQ+ identity in the corporate world with Lord Browne.
Despite the ongoing national lockdown the SSLP is thriving in the virtual world of partnerships. This week eight of our students joined David Lammy MP to ask him questions about his latest book, Tribes, and his thoughts on identity, racial inequality and belonging. This was the latest webinar in our Thinking About series and it attracted 165 viewers! If you would like to view the recording please contact admin@sslp.education
