Racial Equity Network
The OTSA Racial Equity Network was established in 2025 to bring together colleagues working in schools with a shared vision for our schools to be places where diversity is celebrated, safe spaces are intentionally created, and principles of racial equity are embedded into everyday practice.
Together, the network will work towards these initial aims:
- To create a safe and open space for anyone in education who would like to be involved
- To focus on positivity, inspiration, and celebration
- To develop a sustainable network which actively champions and values our differences
To shape three main strands of focus as follows:
- Promotion and celebration of an anti-racist curriculum and inclusive school communities.
- Recruitment and retention of a more diverse workforce.
- Ambition, aspiration, and opportunity for all staff to meet individual career goals.
Below is a group photo from our first Celebration event which took place on Thursday 2 July in Oxford. If you would like to know more about upcoming REN events please email us.
