Educational systems across the world have been obsessed with high academic standards and student performance. We do agree that those aspects of learning are very important but we argue that for children to thrive academically, they should equally thrive socially and emotionally in their classroom.

Our mission and wider vision is to transform education so it becomes more inclusive, socially responsive and welcoming to the needs of all students, particularly those who are vulnerable, underrepresented and at risk of social and academic isolation.
