Brookfield Primary Academy
Case Study About How Amazing People Schools Was Integrated
The teachers at Brookfield have noted that the consistency within the APS structure, specifically, the clear links between the Amazing People’s stories and their personal strengths, really helps to ingrain these concepts into students’ lives in an effective but exciting and interactive manner. Teachers and staff using the resources find that the amount of time and workload saved is highly beneficial.

Case Study About How Amazing People Schools Was Integrated
Staff have noticed that the children are more savvy when identifying discrimination – with a greater understanding of the concept and a wider understanding of diversity and the challenges alongside that. During a recent Trust-level audit, when speaking about DEI, pupils displayed a level of maturity that reflects the strong ethos and culture of the school.

“It has been very valuable for them to see a variety of ethnicities, genders, names, and periods of time celebrated as part of the amazing people programme, and has definitely opened up their eyes to some really interesting oracy debate topics.”

“Amazing People Schools is attractive for primary-aged children, providing many stories of diverse inspirational figures to act as springboards for learning and developing a child’s character. With adaptable lesson plans, guides, activities and resources based on the stories, this is a complete teaching toolkit.”

“The work of Amazing People Schools is important in sharing and educating all students on Black history – that is often unheard and untold. It is important to provide a world view and teach history that puts power to equity on the historical narratives of all people. Amazing People Schools and their programmes are a great testament to that.”

“It really is a wonderful resource with an abundance of video clips on how to promote character education within the classroom and having the time to see how the resources can be utilised was very helpful. The website is engaging and each resource is very detailed; the representation of different members of society is fantastic”
Secondary School Student
“I was never a big fan of history until Amazing People Schools came along. When listening or reading about giants of history the information is presented in a stimulating way. It is amazing what we can learn about how we act and treat others, from the past.”
