Youth Social Action Resource Hub

This project was sponsored by the Ormiston Trust to promote performing arts within Birmingham, enabling them to access specialist teaching and resources utilising the facilities at Birmingham Ormiston Academy. In 2022/23, BOA's Super Saturday School ran for six weeks, and BOA aimed to improve the programme to be eight weeks in 2023/24. The outreach scheme caters for school children from ages 4 to 16. The children who attend the weekend provision journey from all areas of Birmingham and represent over 40 schools from various backgrounds and cultures.

The Ormiston #WeWill youth social action campaign aimed to empower young people across the Ormiston network and non-Ormiston schools to build relationships and share best practices. Our overall aim was to ensure that young people would drive and determine action and staff would ensure young people were given the skills to succeed, and the chance to engage with other young people to share and develop practice across the country.

This overview provides background knowledge for staff to understand the topic of Inclusion and Diversity and how it can be delivered at Key Stage 1.

Diversity and inclusion help children learn to empathise with people who are different from them. It makes all young people better learners, allowing them to understand various subjects from multiple points of view. By having access to educational content, each child is able to fully participate in their own learning, which provides them with the skills and resources for later life. At each key stage, we have used the National Curriculum, providing links and examples of how inclusion and diversity can be delivered through a range of subjects or as bespoke lessons as part of the inspire and inform steps of Youth Social Action.
