Education Futures in Action: Schools and the City

What role can schools play in urban communities? On 17th June Professor Beth Perry will participate in the Education Futures conference (Home | Education Futures in Action) organised by the UCL Institute of Education.

Better Arbourthorne

The contribution involves a talk to share the experiences and lessons from a Big Lottery funded project centred at Arbourthorne Community Primary School in º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½. "An Even Better Arbourthorne" has engaged parents and community members as volunteers to address poverty and environmental challenges in the area. The talk will highlight how the school has played a critical role as community infrastructure before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Arbourthorne Community Primary School prides itself as a family school, oriented to serving the wider community as well as achieving educational outcomes. The talk will include contributions from: Vanessa Langley, Headteacher (Arbourthorne Community Primary School); Rachel Newman, AEBA Coodinator (Growtheatre); parents and volunteers (the Arbourthorne Community); and Beth Perry, Learning Programme Lead (University of º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½).
