We are building the Rekindle Foundation for a fairer, brighter, more joyful future
The Rekindle Foundation will provide the framework, inspiration and support for young people, their families and their educators to have the educational experience every learner deserves: a joyful, meaningful, powerful and inclusive UK approach to teaching and learning that catches our students and school staff before they fall.
The Rekindle Foundation is delighted to announce six funded and fully supported research placements for young people (ages 15-25) to explore the difference that state education could make to the lives of learners from working class communities and exploring approaches in education which may make a positive difference.
Training, support and funding will be provided. No previous experience is required; our focus is on originality and critical thinking.
Our education system and its outcomes are currently tiered by class, race and geography, leading to worse outcomes and fewer opportunities for far too many learners and poor mental health for both young people and education staff.
The failure to address this inequality over the past decades is exacerbated by a chronic shortage of new ideas and youth voices. The Rekindle Foundation is setting out to change this with ambitious determination.
We are a non-profit organisation committed to transforming education on a nationwide scale. This is for two key reasons:
Rooted in the success of Rekindle Supplementary schools, and utilising exceptional work already being done by so many young people, schools and organisations nationwide, we want to support, capture and amplify.
The Rekindle Foundation facilitates collaboration, innovation and brave steps forward, before capturing and distilling what is working and then disseminating this more widely for greater impact. And we do it for free.
The Rekindle Foundation is growing the network of those who know a change is needed, who want equitable outcomes and an enjoyable educational experience for both young people and those who support them.
We mean it when we say that ‘It takes a village to raise a child’ and we are committed to ensuring that all those passionate about the change that is needed are able to contribute, to have their voices heard and to be able to make a difference.
The core and heart of why we’re doing what we’re doing:
A pivotal and powerful force for change without whom we can’t succeed:
Those who provide us with the evidence-based reflection and critical thinking that we need to make our work truly impactful:
Your young people thrive with your input and we grow with your input:
