The Importance of Belonging in Education

In this clip from In My Kitchen with Yvonne, Betty Johnson and Matthew explore one of the most urgent and overlooked questions in education today belonging.Betty references Ofsted's Golden Thread: belong, achieve, thrive and asks the questions schools need to sit with:Are children's voices being heard?Do their questions matter?Are we creating safe spaces or just ticking boxes?Matthew shares his personal story of being diagnosed with dyslexia at university and how finally having the right tools didn't just change his grades, it changed his life. AI became the bridge to a world that had previously shut him out.This isn't just about inclusion policy. It's about whether every child especially those who learn differently feels seen, valued, and part of something.What does belonging look like in your school? Tell us in the comments.
