From education to employment

PebblePad teams up with Anthropolicy to launch new DE&I programmes

PebblePad and Anthropolicy Culture Brokers LLC has announced a strategic partnership, which will see Anthropolicy use PebblePad’s industry leading Learning Journey Platform to power its industry-leading DE&I initiatives for eduactors, organisations and individuals across the world

Anthropolicy Culture Brokers LLC, an Oregon-based human rights equity startup, offers catalysing programs which advise, coach, and train organisations to conceptualise and incorporate a values-based human-rights-oriented approach to DE&I operational policy.

PebblePad’s intuitive, easy-to-use, platform will help Anthropolicy clients across undertake a thoughtful and thorough exploration of how human rights equity fits — or fails to fit — into their culture, while empowering them to make sense of experiences through storytelling and reflection.

Anthropolicy will harness PebblePad’s private and secure space for reflecting, analysing and planning – benefitting from industry leading tools to help create rich records of their learning, experience and achievement. Anthropolicy is also harnessing templates (in-built and custom) and workbooks, as well as a creative suite of tools to help delegates express themselves and learn together. The company uses PebblePad’s assessment tool, ATLAS, to support rich, iterative and conversational styles of assessment and feedback.

PebblePad will also provide Anthropolicy with excellent reporting on outcomes, together with data driven feedback and assessment from clients – in order to develop and refine their services for the future.

Aaron Pina, founder of Anthropolicy commented: “PebblePad challenges the status quo on de&i by providing safe, secure virtual spaces to explore and move traditional de&i compliance training modules. PebblePad’s approach to learning deepens Anthropolicy’s human rights practice by iterative, authentic explorations that show change over time.

Shane Sutherland, CEO of PebblePad added: “Anthropolicy promotes a positive and empowering approach to helping businesses, families and communities promote Diversity, Inclusion and Equality. We’re delighted to play a part in its journey. Using PebblePad, Anthropolicy will be able to encourage and support active, authentic learning – providing a Learning Platform versatile enough to support varied learning and development activities and help deliver a first-class experience for delegates.”

Top 10 independent school’s £150k sports facility completed ahead of summer

A LEADING independent school completed work on a new £150,000 multi-use sports facility. Already generating interest among prospective learners and the local community, thestate-of-the-art pitches at St Gerard’s School in Bangor have been completed ahead of the summer. The site includes a ‘next generation’ artificial grass surface which can be used for five-a-side football, netball, hockey, tennis, basketball and more. An access road, parking, running track and landscaping neighbour the development and there are plans to construct a toilet block and changing rooms in the coming months, in addition to floodlighting. The school – ranked eighth in the country in the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide – has invested heavily in its infrastructure over the last 18 months. Headteacher Campbell Harrison says they plan to do even more to attract pupils and support current learners and their families. “This is not just a MUGA (multi-use games area), it is a commitment to our pupils and the community,” he said. “We have a rich academic history but are also renowned for punching above our weight when it comes to sporting activity and achievement, producing many champions and elite young athletes over the years. “Most importantly, we promote health, wellbeing and exercise, combined with fun! That’s one of the main reasons behind this new facility, which I’m sure will prove very popular with learners but also people in north west Wales keen to participate in sports like five-a-side, netball and basketball in the evenings and on weekends.” Business Manager Steve Griffiths added: “The facility is a fantastic addition to the site and further improves our physical education (PE) provision. “We have also introduced a garden and landscaping around the area to complement the ‘wellness walk’ we launched last year, and the overall redevelopment of the seven-acre site.  “We have future plans but as always our key mission is to ensure the pupils receive the best education in a warm, welcoming setting – which they do.” Having achieved a 16% rise in learners in 2024 – and with further growth expected in Years 12 and Year 7 – St Gerard’s is well placed to sustain its position as an industry leader in the face of “huge challenges” facing the private education sector. The school has reinforced its long-term vision by investing not only in the sports and outdoor facilities but in revamping the Sixth Form suite, the library, and visitor car park in addition to roof repairs, a rebrand of the logo and website, and a £150,000 heating system. The school will be holding an open event on Saturday June 7 from 10am-1pm.
