Strongly advocating for putting relationships at the heart of the organisation and design of our schools for over 30 years.
Our Work
Human Scale Education has developed a six strand strategy to address the multiple crises that we face within the education system and the wider world. Our response is based on the evidence that we gathered during our consultation phase in 2022 in which we explored the question, 'What does it mean for education to be human scale in 2023 and beyond?'
​
These six strands now form the basis of our development plan which we are putting into action. We are always looking for members and partners to work with us, to help us bring our values of respect, democracy, equity, social justice and sustainability to life at every level of the education system.
What does it mean for education to be human scale in 2023 and beyond?
Our suite of panel experts answer this question through the lens of relationships. We look at how schools can give young people opportunities to develop self-knowledge, relationships with others, and a relationship with the environment. This work is part of a wider consultation and relaunch of Human Scale Education in 2023. We are looking at how we can widen access to a human scale education in state schools.
