Thank you Frederick Bremer School for this lovely commendation on why All Rise Matters
Time to Teach for Life, Not Just for Exams
“We test too much, teach too little, and forget what matters.” That’s the message ringing out from this week’s session of the Commons Education Select Committee following the publication earlier this year of the interim findings of the Curriculum and Assessment Review. After more than a decade without change, England’s curriculum is finally under the […]
The leader of the Reform Party has recently dismissed DEI policy as “lunacy” and is calling for DEI departments to be axed.
At All Rise Workshops, DEI isn’t lunacy — it’s our mission. The legal profession in the UK remains disproportionately white, privileged, and privately educated. Socio-economic background still heavily shapes who gets access to legal careers. Thanks to the support of Simmons & Simmons, we spent two inspiring days this week at Frederick Bremer School in East […]
Cyberbullying is NOT “just kids being kids.”
As an ex-teacher, I’ve witnessed the devastating effects of cyberbullying firsthand: emotional trauma, academic struggles, social isolation, physical health issues, and even risks of self-harm.

Cyberbullying is the repetitive and intentional hurting of a person/group that happens online. It takes many forms: abusive texts, anonymous messaging, sexualised bullying, spreading rumours, trolling (sending […]
Why we should take deepfakes very seriously
All Rise Workshops is passionate about legal education in schools. We have recently announced a new workshop on what the law has to say about certain types of negative online behaviours specifically cyberbullying and digital image abuse. With this workshop, we believe education is prevention. By using a legal approach, we can better address sensitive […]
From Classroom to Career-bridging the social divide in education
Promoting Social mobility is a major part of the All Rise mission. We should all have the same opportunity. If we work hard, we should be able to get on and get a career doing what we do the best and love the most, whatever our background. This is not the reality for all. A […]
Why the Rule of Law matters
The recent violent disorders following riots in England and Northern Ireland have been a very tough watch. More than 1,000 people so far being arrested with the Crown Prosecution Service reporting that close to 500 people have been charged. They include a string of teenagers (over 50 U18s to date) including a 12-year- old boy […]
