- Education
The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In this fifth conversation of Series Fifteen, we talk with Ali Durban.
Ali Durban is the co-founder of Gesher, an ambitious all-through school designed especially for children who are differently able and who learn differently. Gesher School has been awarded Ofsted Outstanding twice since it opened in 2017.
Ali is also the founder of the Gesher Assessment Centre, which offers a bespoke multi-disciplinary assessment, diagnosis and report service for children and young people who may have ADHD, Autism, or a range of varying learning differences.
Ali’s journey from exhausted SEND parent to co-founder of a thriving school community has transformed her into a ringleader for system-wide transformation. Ali currently co-chairs a SEND council for the Foundation of Education Development which is creating a 10-year plan and vision for UK education. Ali also sits on the Education Council for the Autism Centre of Excellence.
