✨ Reflections on Funding Racial Justice ✨ At Paul Hamlyn Foundation, we are deeply committed to being an anti-racist organisation. Each year, we analyse our grant-making to understand how much of our funding supports organisations and projects led by and for communities experiencing racial inequity. Today we’re sharing the fourth edition of our Racial Justice Audit, developed by the Funders for Race Equality Alliance. This report reflects on our 2023/24 grant-making and considers the changes we have made and where we can do more to support racial justice. ✨Read the Racial Justice Audit: https://lnkd.in/ec5KKaWg In this new blog, our Director of Grants, Abdou Sidibe, reflects on the findings of our most recent racial justice audit and discusses the importance of supporting work that recognises the impact of intersecting systems of oppression. ✨Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/eV5g3C63 #RacialJustice #Equity #GrantMaking

🌟 DfE Curriculum & Assessment Review – Advocating for Equitable Classrooms 🌟 At Paul Hamlyn Foundation, we support so many organisations that are working to create equitable classrooms where all children can learn and thrive. Through our Teacher Development Fund (TDF) and Arts-based Learning Fund, we support innovative arts-based learning and the transformative role of the arts in education. As the government reviews England’s curriculum with an aim to broaden access to music, art, sport, and drama, we’re pleased to contribute our insights and advocate for a refreshed approach that centres the arts in education. In her latest blog, Professor Teresa Cremin, Chair of the TDF Advisory Group, reflects on this pivotal moment. She highlights the opportunity to re-value the arts and foster classrooms that nurture creativity, inclusion and growth for every learner. 🖋️ Teresa writes: “In many ways, education is a story of hope. While over the decades, the characters, settings, and plots differ, the desire of educators to make a difference remains a persistent theme, alongside a collective determination to enable all learners to grow and thrive… Together, we can help shape the next chapter of this story of hope.” 🔗 Read Teresa’s blog – Hope and a Call to Action: https://lnkd.in/eyWdDm-y ✨ Let’s work together to advocate for equitable classrooms where all children can learn and thrive #ArtsEducation #EquitableClassrooms #TeacherDevelopment #CurriculumReview #EducationMatters #PaulHamlynFoundation 📷 James Mulkeen, darts
