Supporting Schools
• Work with schools to design environments and ways of working that foster belonging, flexibility and engagement.
• Facilitate collaborative groups where staff, students and families explore challenges and co-create approaches that work for everyone.
• Design and deliver professional learning that builds confidence in creating spaces where all children and staff feel they belong and can succeed.
• Offer practical classroom-based support modelling, co-teaching and helping staff reflect on what’s working.
• Build a connected network of schools that share ideas, experiment together and learn from one another.
Supporting Children
• Lead and support the Canopy team to design and deliver a curriculum that helps children rediscover belonging, confidence and agency.
• Ensure the environment and routines promote safety, curiosity and joy in learning.
• Support staff to weave academic, emotional, social and creative learning throughout the day.
• Strengthen connections between Canopy and home schools, ensuring learning and belonging flow both ways.
Shaping the Future
• Contribute to the ongoing development of Canopy’s model: testing ideas, reflecting and learning from practice.
• Build partnerships with schools and local authority teams.
• Represent the Canopy’s approach to belonging-by-design in professional and community spaces.
• Help the model grow sustainably, so more children and schools benefit over time.
