Critical Mass
This is an article and episode on BAME leadership in education. The first of a double bill.
The Swan Report (1985) and a recent report by the Runnymede Trust (2017) note that BAME educators have more difficulty progressing to leadership in the English education system.
We Are In Beta went out to hear some stories from BAME leaders about what it was like for them getting to their position…but we made a mistake.
Listen to learn what it was and what we did about it.
In Episode 9, Series 2 of the We Are In Beta Podcast Allana Gay, Headteacher at Vita Et Pax Preparatory School, tells us about her upbringing, her journey to leadership and a striking parallel between the two.
She also shares her advice, which takes us straight into the final episode of Series 2 on White Allyship, which is available right now wherever you get your podcasts.
