Speaker: Lana Crosbie, Sophia Purdy-Moore and Mumtaz Musa, No More Exclusions
Punitive school discipline continues to push vulnerable and marginalised children towards exclusion and underachievement, severely damaging their life chances. No More Exclusions’ mission is to bring about an end to all exclusionary practices in schools, to dismantle the system of second-rate, segregated education that persists in the UK, and to rebuild our social, political and educational landscapes from the ground up in order to support every child and young person to reach their full potential.
In this interactive discussion, No More Exclusions members will share local young people’s experiences of education and school exclusion, paying particular attention to schools’ excessive and disproportionate exclusion of racialised children, those with special educational needs and pupils who are eligible for free school meals. Drawing on the group’s recently published guide “What about the other 29?”: Demystifying Abolition in the UK Education System, members will ask attendees to envision an education system that nourishes and supports all children and young people, rather than harms and marginalises them. Together, attendees will discuss the ways in which local educators, professionals and community members can collaborate to create positive change in our schools and communities.
About NME
No More Exclusions is an abolitionist grassroots coalition movement in education. Our mission is to bring about an end to the persistent race disparities in school exclusions in the next five years and to affect change at legal, policy, practice and cultural level in education and society as a whole over the next ten years. We want an education system that works for all.
