At MY Cultur-ED consultancy, we specialise in supporting schools in meeting their statutory duty to culturally develop their pupils, and value cultural diversity and inclusion. Educating pupils about different cultures, whilst celebrating their heritage(s), enhances their learning experience, improves their attainment levels, and the whole school community.
It also highlights our shared experiences and pride in our diverse cultural heritages, which helps foster community cohesion. We firmly believe that our cultural differences should not divide us, but rather that cultural diversity brings enriching insights that connect us all to our common humanity.
We understand that time is at a premium for school leaders, but partnering with us will significantly enhance your efforts, accelerate progress, and deliver positive outcomes in these areas.
Whole school approach to our services will transform your community
