110: Whole School Approach to LGBT+ Inclusion
Welcome to season 7 of the Education on Fire Podcast which is focusing on Wellbeing.
My guest today is Shaun Dellenty who has worked in education for twenty years as a class teacher, school leader, improving schools consultant and school governor. In 2009, faced with significant homophobic bullying in his own London Primary School he responded by devising a ground-breaking (now multi-award) winning compassion based training approach to LGBT+ inclusion in learning communities ‘Inclusion For All.’ This programme continues to be delivered around the the U.K. and overseas.
In 2016 he was honoured by the U.K. Prime Minister for services to education and LGBT+ communities and in 2019 his first book ‘Celebrating Difference- A Whole School Approach to LGBT+ Inclusion’ was published by Bloomsbury Education. The book was immediately recommended in UK Parliament. Shaun works nationally and internationally, training school based staff, lecturing trainee teachers and recounting his inspiring journey from bullied teenager to nationally celebrated advocate to countless young people.His work has featured in the press and on television and is recommended by the Church of England and Faith and Beliefs Forum.

108: Student Breakthrough with Sam Moinet
Welcome to season 7 of the Education on Fire Podcast which is focusing on Wellbeing.
Today I chat to Sam about how he is inspiring happiness, success and wellbeing in students across the world.
Hi, I’m Sam Moinet, founder of Student Breakthrough.
I believe there is a new type of student. A student that gains life skills that they don’t teach in the classroom. Students who are empowered with the tools, vision and beliefs to help them live their best life so they can change the world.
From teaching for over half a decade I found that there was not enough time or the right type of support to help students succeed and this led to lots of problems.
I found the solution and I started coaching students 1-1, and the results were incredible.
I give my students the missing piece of the puzzle so they can stop getting lost on the back roads and instead take the fast track to success.
We implement our signature 3B Formula of Boost, Believe and Breakthrough which has proven to improve grades, relationships and mental health.
This is for you – the parent or relative who wants to offer a revolutionary type of provision for their child.
As Frederick Douglas said “it is easier to build strong children that to repair broken men.”
