You Are Not Alone: 14 Stories from Education by Leaders for Race Equality

About this book

This book brings together the key events in the lives of 14 ethnically diverse school leaders and members of the NAHT 'Leaders for Race Equality' group through school, university, interviews and promotion. The group was established in 2020 in response to the events of the pandemic and the murder of George Floyd, providing support to its members leading schools through this challenging time.

The featured school leaders provide their own personal accounts of the barriers and challenges they faced during their own education and into their roles as school leaders, including how they overcame adversity to achieve their goals. Common to many stories is the impact of the school environment and how vital the support and influence of role models can be, and the book concludes by setting out key recommendations for schools and policy makers. Including forewords from two prominent black contributors in the field, this important text aims to change attitudes, build allies and inspire other individuals to aim for their goals and know that you are not alone.

This book will be of benefit to all school leaders at both primary and secondary levels. It will be an important read for those looking to support colleagues and understand the need for diversity and equity among teaching and leadership staff.
