CEO of Royal National Children’s Springboard Foundation, Ali Henderson is passionate about creating systemic change in education. This vision is something that we are proud to be a part of, as we work collectively to drive social mobility by broadening access to life-changing opportunities.
Royal National Children's SpringBoard Foundation (RNCSF) works to bring the transformational opportunities offered by the UK's leading schools to the young people who will benefit from them the most. By 2025 they aim to have supported 2,000 young people from challenging circumstances to access these opportunities - changing their futures, influencing their peers and becoming role models to others.
There are currently almost 1,000 children that are being supported by RNCSF. Repton was one of the first schools to partner with the organisation, helping to secure placements for a number of children throughout the school. We were thrilled to welcome Ali back to Repton at the start of term, so that she was able to meet with pupils that have been welcomed into the Repton community. During an interview between Ali and Sarah Tennant we were reminded of the community that we are a part of, and a mission that is so important, to all our young people, regardless of background.
“YOU HAVE THE CAPACITY TO CHANGE THE WORLD”.
