Written by Matt Bromley and Andy Griffith, The Working Classroom: How to make school work for working-class students offers practical strategies and tools to help secondary schools address the needs of working-class students, including by building cultural capital and designing more engaging learning.

Schools do amazing work to support children from disadvantaged backgrounds. But this book will enable them to do more. Disadvantage comes in many forms, but cultural poverty, where some students have relative knowledge gaps compared with their more affluent peers, can be addressed successfully by schools. The Working Classroom explores how working-class students are disadvantaged by a flawed system and what schools can do to close the gap.

I'm chatting with Executive Producer Andrew Swanson about it and the amazing resources they have.

The Schools Consent Project aims to normalise conversations about consent in order to encourage safe, healthy interactions and reduce the likelihood of young people experiencing - or perpetrating - sexual harm.

For nearly a decade, they have worked in schools across the UK – successfully educating over 40,000 young people through our network of +260 lawyers.


Their lawyer-led workshops explore the legal definition of consent, the age of consent, key sexual offences, online offences & how to check for and communicate consent.


The ⁠Schools Consent Project want to give young people an ability to identify their boundaries and the boundaries in others, to understand the harms of sexually abusive behaviour, and to feel confident speaking up.
