Pearson and The Black Curriculum in partnership
As part of our shared commitment to ending racial inequality in the classroom, we're joining forces with social enterprise The Black Curriculum to champion Black British history topics on The National Curriculum. This new partnership is seeking to ensure more Black British history has its rightful place in the school curriculum and teachers are getting the high-quality support and resources they need to deliver new topics with confidence.
Supporting every learning journey
Schools across the UK have told us they’re navigating the impact of Covid-19 on education by focusing on building students’ knowledge, skills, confidence and wellbeing in readiness for their next steps.
As each learning journey is different, we offer a wide range of tools, resources and support you can use at every stage. From differentiated whole-class programmes and wellbeing services to targeted practice, intervention, tutoring and revision, there’s plenty to help your students make progress at their pace and in the ways that work best for them.
Diversity and inclusion: reporting bias
We are committed to fighting systemic racism and creating bias-free content that reflects the diversity of all learners.
While we’re working hard to create content that is representative and inclusive, we also want to ensure that students, teachers and parents have a way of getting in touch and feeding back to us if they come across anything that they feel lacks diversity, perpetuates stereotypes, or presents any bias.
Shining a light on curriculum
Curriculum is at the heart of everything we do. We're working with schools, teachers and experts in education to understand the principles of an effectively-designed curriculum and create the very best resources and tools to help deliver it.
From 'off-the-shelf' courses that promote a broad and balanced curriculum to a bespoke curriculum created using intelligent planning tools, we can support you through the planning, implementation and evaluation.
