A Visit from the Centre for Social Justice

Wellbeing / Employability / May 30th, 2025

On Tuesday 13th May, our Harton Academy boys’ wellbeing and aspirations group had a wonderful visit from Dan Lilley, senior researcher at The Centre for Social Justice. Dan is part of a parental participation research project, aimed at re-engaging parents in their child’s education and re-building communication and trust between home and school. We are pleased to be contributing to this research on parental engagement and attendance in schools, helping to inform government policies.


Our wellbeing and aspirations group were amazing at helping Dan to understand the specific challenges we face in the North East. They were particularly interested about life in London and his job in Westminster!


This research will be released in Autumn, which we will be sure to share!

Aimee's Reflections on 2025

With the start of a new year (and a brief break in the busyness of third acadmic year spent at Building Self-Belief!) I wanted to reflect on some highlights during the latter part of 2025, a brilliant year that will stick with me for a long time!

Improving the Self-Belief of Teenage Girls

Our film documents and explains the impact of our Building Self-Belief programme with Year 9 Girls at Consett Academy, County Durham. The programme helps the young people to grow in confidence and encourages them to be more aspirational about their future careers. It was a privilege to work with them.
